Oh, I just read this. (she says sheepishly) and I'm chewing on nostalgia's wind like its world class licorice... what a great line! I know I have 2.2 minutes before a fireball with curls demands to be cuddled and has to have a tushy changed. I have so enjoyed spending my morning with you. TIME WELL SPENT! Hugs, cyndi- now one more coffee. oh please, for the love of mike, one more coffee...
