In my head I saw...

That is the question my daughter, Lizzie, asked her schoolmate on the playground as a first grader. The little girl looked at her like she was crazy, shrugged and returned the question to which Lizzie responded, "Yellow." My daughter discovered--but not until about the age of 20...

Ask my hubby. It's about impossible to keep me down. So here I am the day after hand surgery feeling quite well and extraordinarily blessed and probably doing a bit too much.
