I'm guessing Lenny is possibly a reference to the Of Mice and Men character.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16119082365881285289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390876285955310032.post-57292760364534232572017-10-26T08:51:10.389-07:002017-10-26T08:51:10.389-07:00That's what we like to hear! :-)
