And Shirley Makes Two

Posted in Laverne and Shirley on August 16, 2009 | 3 Comments »

And so the story ends, Shirley is now a butterfly.  And a Squiggy.  So I started with Laverne and Shirley, and ended up with Lenny and Squiggy.  Isn’t that just how life goes sometimes.  Shirley actually morphed early Friday morning, but it was a crazy weekend, so I’m just now sharing it with you.  It was a [...]
