Travel down the road and back again,

Invited everyone you knew!

And the card attached would say,

It was about the Miami General Hopsital nurses at the hospital where Harry worked.The Golden Palace-A continuation of The Golden Girls involving Rose, Blanche and Sophia moving into and owning a hotel.Brighton Belles-A short-lived British remake.… Expand
