I see some Biblical connotations in this write, John. Would that "pair" be Adam and Eve? The Garden of Eden must have been a wonderful beginning for mankind until they disobeyed God's command. That which is denied us always seems more appealing, doesn't it? Best wishes in Carol's contest with this great entry! Love, Carolyn
