It took some floundering around before I connected this household to William and Rebecca.

I know this will run me ragged. I've seen it wrong before--and we'll see it wrong again--but I tread lightly when in doubt. Better to find second and third bits of evidence to the contrary rather than buying it, wholesale.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-77456587171604236732015-01-19T09:23:14.276-08:002015-01-19T09:23:14.276-08:001870 - spell check fail galore!
