You've touched on something so articulately. Also, once when I was a kid camping on a beach in Mexico with my family, I woke up early and saw a whale's tale and hump not too far off shore.

My husband and I were jubilant after my daughter's last one when we realized we'd never had to go to another one. She moves up to kindergarten next year so she'll be a certified, too-cool-to-sing-in-a-Christmas-pageant Diva. Of course, for the past 4 years we've had two Christmas pageants per year. Enough already; I'd much rather be sledding! Sounds like soooo much more fun!LBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12143458920315550084noreply@blogger.com
