Jenna Logan Date: 12/7/2022 2:19:00 PM Christmas greetings as if they were written in a card instead of in a one word per letter Acrostic. Fine writing, Tom. Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 12/7/2022 2:52:00 PM You're braver than I to even attempt using the bold feature on a phone. I had 33 lines in my entry and that was quite a task. Tom Cunningham Date: 12/7/2022 2:24:00 PM Thank you very much Jenna, hope it makes sense, he certainly threw down the gauntlet with this one, then again us Soup Creek folk like a challenge, had to delete it twice because bits were bold grrrr, should have done it on the comp instead of my phone, I would have seen the mistakes. Tom
