Billie, your thread is beautiful.
PGalt, thanks for the ping.
Thank you, nw_arizona_granny. I'm filling in as a substitute hostess to Amy's Poetry & Potpourri while Amy is on vacation, and one of the things we do here every day is to post birthdays of interest or 'holidays' to celebrate each day. Some of the holidays are sorta silly - like "#2 Pencil Day?!" - but they do make for interesting conversation. :)
Anyway, thank you for answering PGalt's ping, and for your nice comment.
