I have never replied before but I had to this time because I loved that your mother was your heroine and the reason why and that if you were invisible you would snack more on goodies in the bakery. Both responses hit home. Have a great time watching people and playing Pogo!

  • Marilyn,

    nice to meet you, I do hope the weather’s well in Texas. And I also hope the Rangers (the baseball team) do well this year.

    We enjoy the same games (World Class Solitaire and Monopoly World edition) hopefully we’ll run into each other in one of those games.

    In honor of a great man I say these words: “live long and prosper”

  • Marilyn, we have the same favorite games and feel the same way about everything. We could be sisters (I’m the much, much older sister). I’ll look for you in World Class Solitaire. May God bless you!
