I tried the balls and yes they worked, but I hadn't known until then just how much I enjoy that fresh-flower or lemon scent of clean damp laundry. I was depressed without it. Funny what these five senses give us every day.<BR/><BR/>My favourite part of your post however had to be your daughter's voice. It occurred to me that I've taken thousands of photos of my kids but only rarely recorded their voices...and I think now I'm going to rectify that. They're as beautiful to me as their faces after all.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/>(and why is my verification word "squat"?)Susan at Stony Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385202649291774852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-8507701350422062792009-03-27T11:58:00.000+00:002009-03-27T11:58:00.000+00:00I know...I keep waiting to grow up and move onto s...I know...I keep waiting to grow up and move onto something more serious like the nougats or something...but it just doesn't happen.<BR/>xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-91119861571549802062009-03-27T11:55:00.000+00:002009-03-27T11:55:00.000+00:00Fantastic post, really!
