How can a soul that aches create such a gift of beauty ... it must be the tender nest of the mourning doves. Love it!

I have been advised to remove the words 'you're gonna get it!!!' from my comments. It was meant only in fun... but if we must be PC, (though I think this is stretching it a bit), they are hereby removed... happy now?
