There are many things that make me glad, Like the hearty laughter of a little lad. The frolicking awkwardness of a puppy at play, And the glow of sunshine at the start of the day. To see grass and flowers covered with dew, Mountainous white clouds in a sky of blue, A walk on a pillow of new fallen snow, Soft falling rain that makes flowers grow. For my children to grow strong and tall, The good times past that I recall, Sitting quietly alone remembering past joys, And "Hi Granddaddy" from three fine boys. |

That's smashing Toe.. HUSG ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. |

This is why I enjoy tangling with you. Not because you're a worthless, wretched old man who should be locked away but because your're a good man with a heart of gold who just acts like a worthless, wretched old man who should be locked away. Wonderful sentiments, friend Toe. |
