After losing many books by lending them, & more to a thief, this is one piece of entertaining whimsy that will remain with me.KawSunflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626880661088630001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-128489391406278465.post-9518496458305690372016-07-18T17:05:10.141-04:002016-07-18T17:05:10.141-04:00Nothing I've seen gave a cause of death.Nothing I've seen gave a cause of death.
