Kara,
What a great post! That is the 'quintessential' Gracie! I'm so glad you saved it!!!
Unfortunately, no, I don't know what happened. I'm still working on it. I've written her biological mom with no reply. I haven't yet contacted her stepmom and dad.
Thank you for a chuckle at yet another of her funny, feisty, wonderful posts!!
And, thanks for recognizing her value.
