Thanks for sharing this peak into your life, Gerard. Little House on the Prairie has been one of my favorite shows too. When you have some free time, could you stop by my house and do some of that #9?

Jude--Thanks! i try to be nice to everyone.

Lynne--Thanks for the award! I'll post it when I get a chance.
