Laundry! It was my hope that I would get mine done today! NO WAY! Got called into work, so that was that! Just doesn't pay to plan on doing something does it! Never does get done! Even missed my soapy....maybe tomorrow... <<VBG>>> Julie Judy Solis wrote: >Wonderful story, Milly. Bet you still have to scrub that indoor outhouse! > >Would love to hear more. > >
