The second time I noticed that the bed was "repositioned" in this scene. I thought it was strange but wasn't observant enough (probably the tears) to realize it was a mirror image. I had asked a friend about it and she thought I was crazy. Thanks for letting me know I'm not. Rea Simpson {dual, gymble, sun, mordor}!lll-crg!simpson
