Thanks for your beautiful creative encouragement. I actually can sleep tonight althought I lost it again today (my boss is being hard on us in our opinion-I am suspended and feel invisible when I need help) You are a wonderful writer..I love the bubblegum and ice cream sky. H wants me to finally go to bed tonight. thanks again..what a great blessing
