Loving this one, and I think you are striving to date yourself; surely you do not remember this song like I do?

Jan, Watch the departures, right next to the arrivals. So many going this way and that trying to find their way in life. Will someone be watching the arrivals flight in time for us one day. -Richard

Jan, it is always sad to say farewell to loved ones. And thanks for including the John Denver tune. For many years, he was my favorite recording artist. All his song lyrics are poetry. You did a lovely job and I wish you success in the contest! Also hope you had a great Easter. Hugs, Carolyn

Getting shot is not fun and games for many people, so take care! I liked the return in June, but without noting the year! Aloha! Rico

All the sadness as John Denver died in a plane crash. I got to see him once, before I really knew who he was. I enjoyed this, Jan!
