Greetings Kay,
With contributions like this, I do so hope that you continue to contribute,
since I am certain that we could all learn from what you have to say, from
your experience and from your connection. You never know, perhaps you are
the hundredth monkey.
Regards
Carl
I am a tapestry,
Threads of relationship flow through me;
I am part of everything I see,
Everything is part of me.
