One of the mostly silent ones here...I don't know the circumstances, but I have seen over the years that there are always folks who want to talk behind others' backs and tear people down for something or other. We are the ones who appreciate you, and nothing being said will change our minds. You are a great List Mom! Hang in there, and rise above it. I loved what Cora (Cora Unashamed on PBS last Sunday night) told her little charge, Jessie, about listening to all the nasty things the little girl's own mother was saying: "Just look up at the clouds, Jessie...Float up way above those words...They can't hurt you way up high..." (or words to that effect). Sail on, Cher! We love you. Juliane Gale Bertagne
