Samantha, you have to admit, Lauren *was* Grandad's favourite. He loved her craziness and nonstop talking!! :) :) So what is the basis of this 100 things??

I was pretty excited that I made your 100 list...I think....
The list really does sum you up excpet you forgot to mention your incredible ability to guzzel a large glass of water/milk in about 3 seconds. It's a rare talent you know and is worth mentioning.

There Lauren, I read your blog! ... well skimmed it to be politically correct.

Why am 'I', your friend-in-law, for many years, not in the top 100? You have both hated me and liked me off and on, several times, i mean many times, ok alot...that should have been enough to break the top 100 somewhere!

As a result...Jackson will be the only Perryman to break the top 100 on my list.

Oh ya, by the way, thanks for dragging my wife into your ever-so-popular purple shield thingy. I now see her once a month.
