I think Larry's mother-in-law is used to his sense of humor by now. She must have a sense of humor too! Thanks for your blog comment. That is one funny limerick! Check out Bob Hinshaw's Uncle Paul if you get a chance. He took a witty approach too! Love, Carolyn

That sounds like my diet, LNC. Guess there are a lot of All Americans who love hot dogs and burgers! Love, Carolyn (Soup mail returned and I'm working on a zoo story too)
