Plus, Johnny Appleseed and I share a birthday, and he is featured prominently in the beginning of the book. ;-)Fernhttp://lifeonthebalcony.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653408897410605247.post-22396088863688083122008-12-11T02:30:02.000-08:002008-12-11T02:30:02.000-08:00What a nice thought.
