Yesterday, for instance. Fred and Lyne are off to a costume party and I kept trying to come up with what *I* would like them to wear. When I finally shut up and listened, I found out that Fred wanted to go as Elvis.

I can generally fake it, but I don't whether to make a deal of him being on the plane, (he's got ear problems) or jumping ahead. I've been looking at a blank page for two days. Eek. <br /><br />Thanks, Sara, for reminding me I can do this. Joylene Nowell Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497637513532136615noreply@blogger.com
