Very clever, Sara. I'd have to think long and hard to find the other nine-letter words. Thanks for explaining about Karter again, dear. I doubt the biological parents will meet muster after two years. And I dread the thought of what it might do to Karter to be separated from your daughter. Prayers continue. Love and blessings, Carolyn

interesting optical word illusion maybe it has something to do with perception too.
