He does have a different way of seeing things. <br /><br />Question for Sandy: How in the world do you find the time to read as much as you do and post every day to your blog? Plus comment on others' blogs, plus go about your daily business? Do you ever sleep? :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201860227400017841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-34661444642121913322009-06-12T06:31:33.804-04:002009-06-12T06:31:33.804-04:00I saw BethFish's review too.
