Mind, Body, Soul
Family and Names
By Mona Lease
Greetings, Gals!! Well - in my extended family, I have young
girls getting married...young girls getting engaged...an 8-week-old
girl at the Cleveland Clinic awaiting heart surgery. It's been baby
names...a minor out-patient baby surgery...Egads!! The following
piqued my attention. My attention has been on "family" and baby things.
And..baby names surely have changed.
