Actually, I enjoyed it, Linda. We spend a great deal of time studying mothers and fathers. I'm sometimes amazed at the way family members just took over and raised nieces, nephews, etc. From what I've learned so far about my Bakers, many of the young mothers and fathers died when the children were quite young. The grandparents had to take over and raise the kids. Motherhood and fatherhood both take many forms. Linda, you were one of the first people to help me on the list. Thanks for everything.

I thought it was going direct to Robin and did not notice who it was going to. Next, I want to wish everyone a happy day Sunday.
