LOL! Apparently studying correct usages of raise/rise, lay/lie, sit/set, let/leave this week pushed the grammar lessons from September about the differences between plural and possessive off the edge of her brain :) There are a couple other items I would probably have reworded. I guess the advantage to letting her post while I'm out of the house is that you get the benefit of seeing her thoughts without my editing!

What's up with editing and not commenting on the edit. Now everyone thinks I am looney tunes. Oh, wait, they already do :)
