While I'm still "ummm"ing, she's already Googling and asking "Is it so and so?" And it almost always is. Magic. The only problem is, is that the Magic now knows a little too much about us, too.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412565310065277929.post-24410212260552669672012-04-03T14:30:23.151-04:002012-04-03T14:30:23.151-04:00Hahahaaaa...Times, they be a changing....

Whe...LOL! How funny, Sandi. I google a lot also!<br /><br />When my brother and s-i-l bought property down in the Ocala national forest, we were driving and I told Mike, watch out for that dog. He said it was a coyote. Well, after that my sis saw a bear in their yard and I knew that would be my last visit. LOL<br /><br />Oh yeah, I remember those typewriters, and remember my dad pecking away. He's actually the one who taught me how to type. I still have and electric one somewhere around here. I thought I was in high cotton when I got it. :)Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865722713732049339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412565310065277929.post-89054890571460514782012-04-03T08:58:47.350-04:002012-04-03T08:58:47.350-04:00Is that what went after Dudley?
