Hi Tara,

Thanks so much for the award! You are so sweet... Last night was crazy with TS Hannah....very windy and lots of rain. We really needed the rain. Thanks for letting me know what you are reading... I am nearing the end of a really good book. It is very old but I had not read it..The Razor's Edge by Somerset Maugham. Very good....I can hardly put it down.

Have a great week!

Tara! Thanks for the Award. I arrived home today not in the best of moods as it was a hard day at work and I had some freelancing to do, and wasn't looking forward to it. I opened your post on my blog and it made my day a lot nicer. Thanks so much for the award. I will not get a chance to post tonight but I will get to it asap, and post my award. Thank you.

Agree 100% percent about your father. You have to believe that! He'll be fine, I know (we have a little experience with that) and it makes him feel so much better too..reading the way you relate to him.

Thanks again!
