Message In a Bottle

My love for you is bottled aging to perfection maybe turning to vinegar. Will the bottle break before you sober up?

His bottle seems to offer perfection, but the end is sour. Hope he gets the message soon.

I always enjoy your wit and wisdom Maureen. You add the right amount of humor so you don't sound preachy. You just sound wise and funny. This is another example of your great and unique style

Good to see old messages hit home in new way. Maybe this version will be more success. And you did it in your own unique way making the words bounce off the page. Important and clever write Maureen. Hope you will be welcoming in the New Year with Hope in your heart. Best wishes from David in NZ

It usually gets better, more refined...in the case, it turns to vinegar, well, pour on a salad or chips and fries...A great message Maureen...
