Wow, it must be something when we or should I say Sheridan is the first bullet point. He must be teaching through distance learning. Ha Ha. Glad to see that things are going well. Forgot to mention about Jordan and the calligraphy for her name. Glad you found him. Be sure and check out the orphan store on the island. We are off to church now. Keep up the good posts and photos.
