well, I guess I'll wait awhile for THAT sort of chat with my girls. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait, but I hate to admit I actually DON"T know what a hair house IS! Aaaaa

Wow. That is amazing. I'm shocked and admire you for that! I never talked about anything even semi-private with my mother. I'm guessing at the hair houses, but maybe if I ever run into you I'll ask. I better double check and be sure you are REALLY the author of this instead of taking a chance it is a different lady with an Ethio baby in the Sequoya library. :)
