mamaduck, it's so nice to see you here. I'm not sure I've met you before, but this week we have had many new visitors - know that John's essay has brought many, and we're so happy to share his talent all week long!

thanks! I mostly lurk, due to time constraints, if I got to yakking, my day would be GONE! :-) my FRiend ohioWfan, gives me a ping now and then - I really enjoyed the story about her son. :-)I'm sure we're all thankful that today is almost past: a prayer and a sigh of relief . . .
