Oh, I almost forgot the poem, I couldn't quite figure out wether it was from Keats or…

A long day last Friday which ended in a surprise.  We got home very late (or early in the morning) from seeing the Paris avant premiere of "The Iron Lady" which was a good film but I fell asleep 3 times.  Meryl Streep was fab in the role of Margaret Thatcher.  Too tired to go to sleep we chatted awhile in the kitchen when I noticed that I still had not opened Erni’s package. …

Sue sent me this gorgeous Holiday card.  The paper has so much texture and the colors just chased away the Winter Blues when I opened it...Thank you so much Sue!

A beautiful piece by Jon in his tape transfer style...I love that you can see people's heads just in the background.. is it the "written" word or can you hear the faint "spoken" words from the past...

Either way, it flows beautifully!…
