Not that it's a help, but somewhere in storage I have a wedding issue they
did, that I keep on hand as a negative example- their 'research'... well,
Father Abelard has almost recovered from our last encounter with their

of 'Fun Facts to Know and Tell!'

Busy making Byzantine stuff for daughter Lydia. Having fun too!
