Thanks, Mayrie. I did an advanced search by title and didn't find it, but I
apparently I had the title wrong both times I looked. Thanks for saving me from
looking under the author's name (which I didn't have originally).
Grandma Cindy Maybe author is a better way to look; or all variations of a
title should be tried. W are so lucky you are one of us!
