    I hadn't noticed boy in 1959. That came a bit later.

    Have a fabulous day honey. Big hugs to you and my very best to Miss Lucy. ♥♥♥

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
