[stylist] Sharinhg one of the Conversations from the Teacherseries

[Lynda Lambert]

Beautiful, Barbara.
Just the sight of you pushing that stroller is beautiful in itself The bells 
only add to the ambiance of the entier picture. Inspiration for things to 
write about is right in our own back yard, isn't it. You amaze me.

Gehen Sie mit Gott und Schmetterlinge
Lynda
