Vicki, I am also called Grandma Elsie. I have one little granddaughter who will be 5 in August. She is a dream come true for our family. I have spent many mornings out in my patio this spring and would you believe I had a dove come very close to me 3 different times over a period of several weeks. Mom loved doves, and between that and the lovely flowers, I knew my mom was near by. Oh my yes, I can see my mom. Course tomorrow being Mothers Day does bring back a lot of good memories. I'm thankful to have both of my boys and families with me tomorrow. Thanks for sharing Vicki Love ya, Elsie At 06:08 PM 5/12/01 -0400, you wrote: >Elsie- I liked it a lot too.
