quote:39. Related to ostriches and emus, what is the largest flightless bird in the Americas? rhea (Well, you weren't the only one, Juju, but you had a few others alone)
Yes, Mamie, that was a bit of a surprising set. There was that one I thought I would be the only one, but OG does crosswords (and I don't), so there we go. And then others where I thought we would all get it. One just never knows, I guess.

I am still walking around with a smile. I gave them a lot of baby clothes that I have bought since finding out she is a girl. I also brought a blanket that was Justin's and a gown that my mom had embroidered when I was pregnant with Justin. We have a shower in a couple of weeks. Before you know it, I will be in Florida with my daughter and grandson. I will be gone from July 2 to July 15.
