Funny! Ha!!! Checking in with you... I know a bad storm has hit the Philippines, but that they moved people from the worst of it... 23 died... but I hear that there was a great deal of damage. Praying for you, your country and your loved ones. Nature has gone crazy. Love sent.. Your Soul Sis

I can visualize Bob trying to get even with Scrooge. It's about time! A humorous box-office hit for me, Nette.
