Congrats, Linda! I have to tell you a funny story about the word "but" in our household. When my youngest son, Mark, was a little guy, he LOVED the movie, "Pee Wee's Big Adventure." That was back in video rental days and we rented that movie over and over and over. Husband Ron and I could utter the dialogue right along with the actors! The following quote is from that movie, and every single time I hear the word "but," it pops into my mind! ~~~<br />~~~~<br />Simone: I know you're right, Pee-wee, but...<br />Pee-wee: But what? Everyone I know has a big "But...? C'mon, Simone, let's talk about *your* big "But".BECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184458949017900541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-44196403133174960162014-01-09T08:24:30.320-06:002014-01-09T08:24:30.320-06:00Remember when we were children and our parents wou...Remember when we were children and our parents would tell us "sticks and stones will break your bones ....

It is so true. When people, especially our children, are excited, it is all too easy for us to use that little word. It's a good reminder for all of us, and one I shall try to remember!Southhamsdarlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285980805569582676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-40741177397502522692014-01-08T06:49:44.749-06:002014-01-08T06:49:44.749-06:00Linda--Yes, "but" is big whether it has ...Linda--Yes, "but" is big whether it has one or two t's.<br /><br />Congratulations.
