Good one..I am sure that she will enjoy reading this one..You need to use that notebook and jot down those ideas and then the magic of writing a great work will come from those sentences, words, or phrases that come to you at the strangest times...Thanks for stopping by..Sara

Simply put, but so profound, Jack. You did a beautiful job on your entry for Francine's contest. I always remember my late mother on Mother's Day. She was so good to me. Once I even thought I heard her voice when I was out in my garden. She died in her garden and loved flowers. No one can take the place of our mothers. Sending winning wishes your way! Love, Carolyn
