thank you, Kim. Math has always fascinated me; I work at doing Sudoku and enjoy helping my grandson with that subject which is his strongest subject.

Thank you, Joseph, I welcome the honor you awarded my pleiades. I am doing an ABC book (almost finished) with a pleiades for each letter. I appreciate your generosity.

thank you, Andrea. Enjoyed your pleiades on the same subject, moderation in all things applies here. I use algebra still today, but usually only in helping the grandkids with homework.
