    this is great Lindsay I have sent You a snail mail letter because somehow My emails that are outgoing and Your email to Me has not worked. AT@T manager called My Husband on Monday and said We had over 100 outgoing emails and some in coming floating in the system in a random way and they were somewhat confused so they erased it all and We started over. So please have a lookout for My information…I am sorry this has become so much work to give Me such a wonderful surprise gift ideas. thanks again
