Jan Allison

I have a feeling Ilene's husband does the cooking but I may be incorrect:-) I challenged myself to do limericks as the acrostics too the flow isn't perfect but i am pleased with the end result and I hope Ilene likes it:-) hope all is good with you i am delighted you are a PM again:-) hugs Jan xx
