Oh yes...by far the best list yet! Just slippings into my imagination while reading it made the end of this day great,
I I loved your list. Some I knew and some were new to me. Hugs are good and really better felt than through the phone or e-mailed. Are you coming over tonight???? Thurs???? Love, Mom
