Vernell, all of us will be rooting for you and of course praying that this works out. I think that this verse is for you, Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will set your path straight. Amen.

Art, I started college in 1964 when Motown and the Memphis groups were getting a lot of play, so I would add the Temptations (I talked my way into their dressing room years ago and met all of them), Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, the Chiffons, Gladis Knight and the Pips, Mary Wells, but JB was my main man. I went through a time where I was listening to the blues a lot, many of those songs have not so good lyrics and were not that good for the kids. Lately I have been listening to 60-70's Rock and Roll, I listened to nothing but Chicago for a while, now I am listening to the Rollng Stones and the Eagles. Matthew likes to look at the pictures that come with the CDs and his observation was that all the bands had the same haircut. "Xcuse me while I do the Boogaloo."

Melody, we are all so happy for you and the lucky boys that you will be taking into your home. Get ready my friend, it may be hard for a while. And, please use the Gotcha word, please please. It is very common in usage in the adoption community. It is a word that someday you will be able to associate with great rejoicing. I am rejoicing right now. Thanks, what a way to start the day.

The godfather of soul was quite an entertainer, he could dance like nobody else. He filled the house everywhere he went. Thank, Art.

Art, have faith, someone bought us a house, and I wasn't looking for it or even thinking that it could happen, it just did.

Thanks, Patti, you are always so encouraging.
