:) I like your poem, sweetie. Haagen Dazs is yum...but I'd prefer a chocolately gooey mess of a dessert. ;) To each his own...Hugs

oh wow Sun - no my aunt Constance passed away many years ago but she did have other Norwegian relations - distant to us - I think Constance was my mum's cousin I think - she used to work in a shipping company in Stord if I remember correctly. i did have a pen pal of one of the relations but lost contact many many years ago :-) hugs jan xx

Ice cream is perhaps my greatest weakness. BTW, Jan, it's Häagen Dazs and its American. Happy eating. / M
