Wed young- three babes I had by twenty-four.

Part-time, earned a B/A in English, and

my poetry and paintings seemed to soar.

More joys when five grandchildren grew, expand

to five dear great-grandbabies, I adore.

How sweet your lines are. AND how sweet it is to see / read you again. I came back in January, touched base with many but just yesterday saw your picture and missing-feel came upon me. I've always loved your talents. I haven't a clue how to sum up my life in 5 lines - what to put in, what too leave out, how to keep it simple as you did so well. SO GOOD TO BE ON YOUR PAGE.
