If you didn't know Bo, so sorry to corrupt you.

So you can sing and write songs!? That's really neat to know, and you're a dancer too right? You are pure plum loaded with creativity in every way... with your body, your voice, and with your hands...

i'm not a dancer, cindy! i'm klutzy so just a lover of dance (and a wedding reception dancer).
ReplyDeleteHah! I'm a wedding
ReplyDeletereception dancer, too!
What joy that is!
Love your vision of a
dream home. I'm with
you all the way...smaller,
top quality, smart house
with a soul.
As I cull through our
stuff, I ask myself whether
the item{s} in question
would go along with me
to said Dream House. If
not absolutely YES!, then
it has to be a zing. It may
not happen for years, but
dang, I'll be READY!
Love how you roll. You're
the best!
