Same to you, Caren. I went out last night to an incredibly expensive Italian restaurant with friends. My niece picked up the tab, but I purchased wine for the table. It was a real Christmas treat!

Thank you so much, Mike. I love word puzzles and trying the various forms. This one was invented by our own Andrea Dietrich.

This is called Andaree, and it was invented by our poetess Andrea Dietrich. It is delightful, isn't it?
