It sounds like you looked it up to find this kind of detail! Good one, and good luck in the contest, Jimmy. I know it's hard for you to keep up on the picture challenges. I hope this one made it in time. LUv, andrea

This one is great Jimmy. I tried to send you info about publishing in soup mail but it keeps saying System Error...so I will try again later on. I have been busy working and have not been to soup for past few days. Aloha, Connie
