Love this Monica, must admit I knew a few, but learned a little more. Your blog is always fun to read.:-)
Hey Bobbi Jo, how are things in sunny and warm Costa Rica? Shannon and I went for a walk last night and I was thinking of you two…it was minus 23 C and we were so bundled up we looked like two toddlers going out to play…Brrrr….
