A very positive way at looking at wrinkles, Carolyn! Bring 'em on! I'm proud to have smiley wrinkles :) -- very nice topic for your than bauk--so hmm no frowns allowed! why the frown? To be honest? I have never made that sweet potato dish as we don't have Thanksgiving here...but yup wouldn't that be cool, a Soup convention where we really cook soup?? haha! hugs :D

You have got this Than Bauk down pat, Carolyn just as intended as it is short climbing and witty also..I went for story form (which is not really what TB is for) but I have fun doing it cause I love the challenge of the form :) This one is tops ...As far as wrinkles.... ya gotta love em . Did not get to your contest on time Catch the ext one

:-) You GO, girl! My once smooth forehead looks like the Grand Canyon now. Ah, well. At least my laugh lines are EVEN deeper. Thanks for the kindness sent my way, Dear. I always appreciate your words. Monkey-girl is doing so much better. Hospital visit was horrible. They did a TERRIBLE job putting in the catheter, told me it would be an in/out thing.Over 3 minutes of her screaming in agony. All this for freaking amoxcylin (spelling)??? Sorry, should have soup mailed this! Hope this wins! Cyndi
