I was delighted when the tireless blogger/author, Sally Cronin of Smorgasbord Invitation had asked me to write a post and fill in for her as ‘blogsitter’ while Sally took a RARE week off to visit her sisters and have a little reunion.

Loved it as usual Debby and I wouldn’t be suprised if we or rather the rest of you by the time I am long gone from this earth are walking around with a chip somewhere in your body. Does all this technology make you wish for the OLD DAYS???? ☺☺☺
