Tradition dictates you are called to the Torah with your Hebrew name, followed by either "ben" (son of) or "bat" (daughter of), and then your parents& #39; Hebrew names. 2/7

A birdie told me that none of the @WynonnaWriters have sisters.
Let me tell you, they nailed the relationship on the head.
THE EARP SISTERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME DOT COM.
Also, #BringWynonnaHome because these writers have more stories to tell. 7/7
