He can stand on his head this year? Now that's impressive.
I think kindness, humor and smarts are a sexy combination.
Oh to be 55 again.
B is a good man, and you are a good woman. What a blessing to be sealed throughout eternity! What a blessing! And stands on his head - WOW! Impressive - Much love,

4) while some read the scriptures, B is instructed by them
