As usual, October is almost over and I again forgot that the majority of the Schley kids have Oct. birthdays. So, even though it's belated, here's a BIG BELATED BIRTHDAY BLESSING for you (and all the rest of the Oct. Schley's, Liz, Dianne, Roger, even your parents' and Joe and Liz' anniversaries!
Good thing about blessings, we can always use them whenever they come, not just on special days. Love your blog!
