I have a little phobia about being in confined spaces. It has not helped that once I was locked in a restaurant cooler if only for a few seconds. I had brief thoughts that I would end up looking like Lucille Ball in the episode where she was stuck in a freezer. Another great post, Shelly!Cindy Ellisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03637906385592484767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-84900555695662582372011-12-12T07:09:16.184-06:002011-12-12T07:09:16.184-06:00Crystal: Thank you!

Please understand, dear friend, that I will do everything in my power to break free, read your blog and comment on your posts. However, if I'm late or miss a post or two please know it's because I'm tied up with family matters. I'll be publishing on a reduced schedule and might not be able to reply to every comment left on my blog either. It's that time of the year!
