by the way, you are just two years older than my mom and she is so spry, I tell her she is going to outlive ME.

coming back to this one I just LOVE. And are you serious about your mortgage and when it will finally be paid? Please tell me you are joking.

You've captured so much beauty here, Daver-- I really enjoy how you put grace and beauty to the end of Summer-- thank you for passing by my poem and I do think you are such a kind hearted soul with a soft spot for animals-- I hope all is well with you dear Daver!
