Good morning Carol. My success in having read the posts you highlight here is dependent on whether I commented on Lou's post in the past. Today, zilch, nada! Then again, I was pretty good at catching Lou's posts and some days after seeing ai caught his, I come up empty on the rest. So, not a bad day for some interesting reading. Thanks! Enjoy your day and hit them straight.
