My daughter is not doing well and we had to rush her to the hospital because of her heart issues. In response to your question about a webpage- no, I don't currently have one because I am an idiot when it comes to computers. I am working with my friend to develop a site and I will post it when it's done. Thanks for all the great ideas! Keep 'em coming and I will try to check back really soon.

Crossword puzzles and puzzle books are good ways to pass the time too!
