Great entrance for Andrea's contest, Amy! I would be completely lost without my eye sight - couldn't draw or paint or taking photos etc. Thank you so much for your kind comment on "Days" and have a great weekend...Gert

I have such poor eyesight so I've learned to appreciate that at least I still can see pretty good when I wear my glasses :) just one typo for "its"--hope this helps & good luck in the contest :) & thanks for your comments on the little piggies, haha I do recall loving that (the original version too that is!) as a kid as well ;) --nikko :)

Max, life is obvious, and so broad. My point is to not take advantage of the things we are blessed with in life.
