I like his softer version of Barney.Tammy Espino August 09, 2007
(Raising hand) Silly question but what is high key? Oh oh and I was out taking photo's today Peaches and thought of you so posted a couple on my gallery. Take a peek and hope you like :) #4626156Nancy (Peaches) Harker August 09, 2007
No kids here Steve, Took me a while to figure out what you were talking about. That was the only way I could try and figure out what maybe his name was, saying different names until he looked. Thanks much for commenting and stopping byTAMMY lol, school is out for the day LMAO, go to this sight it will explain it better than I can ... will go to your sight AGAIN now!
