Bless you, my dear. You've made my day.
I've never publicly admitted this before--bad for my image, you know--but
I, too, have a dream of a summer place and a winter place. After this last
winter, something farther south is most compelling for that gray period
between the end of harvest time and seed starting in the spring. My eyes
have gotten to the point of becoming bleary after only six or eight hours
of reading; then the cabin fever sets in. And I do love bougainvillea.
Sorry to respond so late--I have been away for the last couple of weeks and
am slogging backwards through 935 e-letters.
