thank you, parents, siblings, friends can all be teachers. As a teacher, I always appreciated those parents who read to their young children and those who were readers themselves as a role model. Appreciate your comment, Paula.

My thanks to you for including me in the winners despite the fact, it was not a romantic, passionate crystalline. BTW: Happy Valentine's Day to a great host at PS. On the other hand, my passion was teaching and still is in retirement.
