Oops! I have taught that story enough that I think your key is wrong--Ceasar Augustus ssent out the decree not Julius Ceaser. I'll keep the fact that you made a mistake secret--don't want to burst any bubbles, just kidding! Hey, read Amy's blog to see her Grandparents tribute, it's cute. Have a good week Steve&Bev
