Diana, thanks again for creating the fun muse challenge. I did read almost all the posts. Lydia & Lilly hovered over the computer to see the next one. I had to curb their excited chatter. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the muses got together, like in a support group, and talked about us, mainly their gripes. I can hear Lydia asking for specific details, numbered in order of importance. Lilly would just put an arm around whoever needed it, encouraging them to let it all out—express their feelings. 🤣🎶 Have a restful break, and a very Merry Christmas. 🎄🎶📚 Christine
