You remind me of nights when it would freeze in Tallahassee and my cats always sat next to the fire or on my lap for loving. Great entry for the contest, Jan. Wishing you success! Hugs, Carolyn

Well done! Tricky, isn't it? I had no idea "really" was three syllables until informed by the PS counter! Aloha! Rico

the syllable counters certainly do come up with some unusual syllable counts - really is 2 to me, I check on how many syllables and soup counter and they do have such discrepancies at times, i guess its down to regional accent too:-( hugs jan x
