Nicely contrasting pieces, Carolyn. If only the whole world could follow the formula for peace. Alas, much of the world is in flux and conflict. Good luck in the contest. Love, Robert.

A wonderful entry for the smile/frown contest. It seems such a simple solution to troubles. Thank you for all of your comments. I am trying to get through them but am making jam today and can't leave it for long. I am thrilled with my first place for the Miracle Worker. I remember my mom sending for several of his remedies. Love, Joyce
