I wonder if she ever even noticed me? I think the reason why I don't remember her past 5th grade was that she may have moved away. She came into the fourth grade after school had started and I pretty sure she moved somewhere else during the course of my 5th grade school year. There were more "loves" later and they just sort came and went in my life. Then of course my family moved as well.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-79730662509491950122012-05-14T14:22:55.035-07:002012-05-14T14:22:55.035-07:00oh the animals and that song--one of the greats!oh the animals and that song--one of the greats!Lynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-41828408787670071652012-05-14T14:05:43.218-07:002012-05-14T14:05:43.218-07:00Are you sure you just don't remember Annette f...Are you sure you just don't remember Annette further than forth grade because she was just replaced in your mind by a second love, maybe something completely different such as baseball, lol?
