Deb,
I am pretty sure I remember you. Didn't you play the piano at Knollwood? As I remember, you are real tall and very pretty. Thanks for your nice compliments. I am having a ball with this blog. I never dreamed I would ever do such a thing, but it is so much fun. Stop by every day if you like.
You do remember me! I am so honored! I will stop by everyday! I can't wait to see what you will post next. Please stop by and visit my blog. Blessings to you and your family!
Deb
