You created a picture of true despair with your words. <br /><br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578454697877614703.post-34213779553188572532015-04-12T07:05:16.736-04:002015-04-12T07:05:16.736-04:00This one works well as a fib indeed, and similarly...This one works well as a fib indeed, and similarly glad to know you're not in despair.

That wailing and wallowing, hiding in darkness shows it well, Mary Lee.

At any rate, there's a motion that I like. And, as always, you are a master of the few words that focus greatly.<br /><br />Thanks!Steve Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06793183473454298123noreply@blogger.com
