Still sick here.. had gotten better and then it came back worse. Chills and in my chest... thank goodness hubby is healthy and is helping as much as he can and 'our' girl is proving she's an angel after all and is being helpful to mommy. Thinking about you and hoping your allergies are improving. Blowing you a kiss, Cyndi

I think we all need to get a piece of that rope that leads to the high skies of High Heaven, I like the purity u pack inside of this poem, well said, like bread, that's a "SEVEN" unleavened! (7 rate poem from me)
