This gave me pause, stopped me in my tracks, made me think, made me re-read, made me smile and assured me that you always know exactly what you are doing, Emile. Bravo!

Cute lanterne. Good luck. Emile I have been trying to send bio by soup mail but it doesn't seem to work. I have written it twice but it never tells me that it has gone. I could send it by email if you could get that to me. I get your soup mail. Joyce
