I'm writing this comment as I'm listening to your Glorious Day song on the other tab and post...lol...it is so inspirational....the music and the singer's voice is wonderful. I also have had trouble with logging in and out so I'm going to leave my URLs and you can get to them that way, even though I'm a little behind. I've been to Europe visiting my daughter and now I'm back with a very large amount of photos to go through.....ha!

I miss being able to use them.

We always had just straight lines When my youngest child was still in diapers, I had a line of diapers hung out when a tornado came doing much damage. Some of those diapers were torn into shreds, and some were wrapped round and round the line. Before disposables, of course.
