yes, I do remember this monorhyme! It's such a true statement of how things are today. Phyllis, I sure wish I could find a new poem of yours but I really think I have read them all. I should start back at the very end of your pages and work my way forward again!!! Thanks for your sweet comments today. Luv, Andrea

Hey, this is pretty cool with all the ize monorhyme going on!! Answering some of your comments to me, no the snow was not heavy in Utah. Maybe only in the mts. I saw that dog movie just last week. Was it Hitache? Something like that!! And who is KErry, I forgot? Did you tell me before? You said he fixes your computer My computer seems to be doing ok and the dang man did not even show up to help me with it. LUv, Andrea
