This is really cute. Dolphins are my favorite mammals. They and the elephant are smartest .

Hi Andrea! As you can see I am REALLY behind in answering emails. I don't think I will ever get caught up! What a challenge. Thank you so much for your encouraging feedback and your constant support! They are like precious jewels. I, too, love dolphins. Didn't know about their intelligence rivaling the elephant. Also wanted to wish you a very happy birthday on the fifth! September 5th is my mother-in-law's birthday. May your special day be filled with extra special blessings!

Hi SuZ! Thank you for your most thoughtful feedback! As serious as life can be for dolphins in the ocean, they never lose their smiles, their joy or their playfulness. A wonderful life lesson for me. Hope you are well. So great to hear from you. Sending you blessings of joy!
