  7. I got here through Pinterest. The link to "love affair with my brother" leads to objectionable content. Just thought you would want to know

  8. THANK YOU so much for letting me know that! I think I have deleted all links. Seams as though Sunni no longer blogs and her site was taken over. How awful you had to see that. I appreciate so much you letting me know!!! Erin
