    Oh, I hit send without thinking. Sorry. What is the A-Z challenge? I am going to have to look for that cotton combination of colors. I really like it. Sandy, if you don't want people to leave google+ comments, is there a way to eliminate that from the offerings?

      I wish there was a way, but if there is I haven't found direction on how to. I really dislike google+ because when people use it I can't click on their name and get to their blog ...it only takes you to the circle page and all that mess and you can see where they've left comments on someone else's blog, but you're really hard pressed to find their blog.
