one thing missing in this thread is my expression of gratitude..

spiritual_emergency: busy lives do call away... walk in Peace... praying that we all find what we're looking for..

chocolatelover: i have rested in your beauty many times...

Sky: its been interesting to say the least...

KathyM: your contributions are valued.. i hope you'll reappear and give some feedback...

Jinny, coral, freewill, Perna, Rapunzel, GardnerGirl, 1oxbowgirl, SeptMorn, Doc John, and any i've left out (sorry) ... you all matter...

thank you everyone...
