Omg— and an even later journal/ acknowledgement !!! I am so very sorry!!! I don’t know what happened… Looking at the date sent, it looks like it arrived while I was out of town, but my mail was held at the post office, and I picked up the box of it when I got back… How in the heck I missed journaling this I have no idea. But here I am, cleaning like crazy so carpet cleaners can come tomorrow, and I found this wishlist book still in it’s envelope… I am so freaking sorry!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you-I am really excited to now have and be able to read this book!!!
