Pour out another cup of tea lets sit awhile and unwind together for a bit Relaxing times with a lovely friend are essential, I hope they never end Days pass by so quickly filled with task after task I need some space for ME, is that too much to ask? So I take time out every day and I have a little fun Enjoying every moment once all my work is done Contest Paradise Acrostic Sponsor John Hamilton 12~24~15

I like your take on this paradise theme, Jan. You also did it in rhyme, which adds to its worth. ~ I had my contest entry ready for posting, but something else came up, so posted that instead! It's now nearly 8pm here, and we just finished our Family Christmas meal which started at 1pm! Hugs // paul
