  (smiles) Awwwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, I too always tend to dream when I wish of something but yet I feel somehow I can distinguish what is certain and what is not sometimes! (kiss on cheek) This is lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Hmmmmm.... I don't know... *S* The land of make believe I visit is pretty dern nice... and the only certainty around is often the werk monster. *G* Seriously, I love this, Elizabeth... looking out on your landscape brought a breath of fresh crisp air into this hot humid morning. *S* |
