I have read your winning work and was delighted that it is on the winners' list. Way to go. Congrats. Sara...I can understand her plight, because with age there is a new problem that has been engaged in my life.

So right you are my friend, when our sons were in their late teens we all went to the Kruger Park together, on the last night we ate fried beans - well did Elias and I suffer, it was winter and we had to drive with the window open otherwise I'm sure we would have been propelled up high into the sky, not that he and I were any better I must confess. Great poem Jan - good luck in the contest. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Definitely something blowing in the wind, Jan, at least poor Fran was in the right place for a follow through. Good luck in the contest. Terry

It's been an amazing few days Ilene for the last couple of years we have not been able to celebrate because of covid so we did lots of fun things eating out and seeing friends, its been very emotional seeing our friend after 7 moths, the best gift I could have had now he is recovering from his stroke:-) hugs Jan xx
