It's amazing how many aspects of life that saying applies too -- especially if you're willing to switch the last word around.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941618536855042206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-25686998437056308102013-07-26T00:25:49.542-05:002013-07-26T00:25:49.542-05:00Oh that would be nice :-)Oh that would be nice :-)Georgettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705282002904234217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-39277452440456762692013-07-25T23:59:47.100-05:002013-07-25T23:59:47.100-05:00Great post, Georgette!
