Sarah Lee What a great idea! I'm starting to read again, and this would definitely be somewhere I'm returning to for some great recommendations. Thanks for the invite. =) How have you been, dear sister? Is the move tedious on you? I've been meaning to get your new address from you because there's a christmas card waiting to be sent. Hope to hear from you soon!!
