  8. I loved seeing your own flower photos, Linda, and as always, enjoyed the videos you shared with all of us, too. I'm more appreciative of uplifting posts right now than you could ever know as Danny is in the hospital for a bad reaction to one of the medications he has been taking for his heart. Would you and your followers please pray for his healing? God bless always!
