I like that.

You definitely need to leave a camera for Uncle B.
Although, if I went to Italy and left my kids with their Uncle B, I don't think they would eat as well.
Also, MY aunt and uncle had a demerit system! It was somehow related to Oreo cookies.
You and I live parallel lives.
I will say a little prayer.

Thanks,

Consider the prayer said. Wishing all the bb flock well from here.
Yes.
