Funny, but I had a dream that Luke was 6'4" and he draped his big arm over my old and rickety shoulders. I think I'll choose a name other than Elvis, but I will have to decide what name...<br /><br />Sending love,<br /><br />SSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-44654620826570524622012-09-24T09:26:03.728-07:002012-09-24T09:26:03.728-07:00Dear Sharon,
