Congrats on your much deserved win Andrea. I think that maybe that's the island where my treasure has been hidden away. But perhaps some day fate will dig her up for me.

That second line is a tropical treasure. You are a true poetess! Nice turn of the phrase, my dear. I envy you on that one. Yes, it's for the contest, so.. we'll see if Steve McQueen can bring me over the finish line. " Hey, Dave, Hey Dave! CO2! Co2!" No, they don't make them like that anymore. Now they remake them and destroy what was good about them. You have a real talent. So, now you've heard it! Regards, Gerard

Reads like a beautiful view..So many wonderful memories you will have...Keep the keyboard flying with wonderful writes to describe this glorious place...Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work...My mother always called the moon an old man so I guess I went with a gut feeling of the fact that I was told he was a man...I wsa thinking of the sky as female dressed in a fancy ballgown...That is why I went the way that I did..Sara
