Hi! lol. I hated kneeling even in the Catholic Church. I can't hardly get
down on my knees any more, and they hurt so bad and I have such a hard time
getting up. lol.
I'm so glad Vernon made this island so it won't move when I get down on the
floor to get something on the bottom shelf and then I have to hold on to
the island and pull myself up. lol.
Love and Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
