Fun to think that, some fine day, Curtis will finally be right! 😁 (This reminds me of a Christian comedian who asked his audience to imagine that there was a world that had not fallen. The he suggests that we are their Thursday night reality show. Ha!) Okay, that was neither here nor there. What a pretty party...lots of ideas for those hosting fun events.
