    Were you in "Wales" or "Whales"? That is... were you taking the Tyler-family historical tour or were you taking the Jonah tour?

  3. Thanks observant Niece of ours! The trivia was for Wales- but Emrys has an application in to a church in Nineveh- so who knows, we could have a Jonah tour!

    You don't have to capitalize "niece". You can just call me "Your Ladyship" or "Your Grace". I see you have changed the spelling. Now, I can go to bed fullfilled. Cymru forever!
