Dear Cuzzins...I am back again. Just look below. Sorry...Hope I don't get scolded for sending such a long e-mail but I was so excited when I found this on the rather larrrrrge POYTHRESS Website I just had to show you. Are the rest of you familiar with this POYTHRESS Website? I certainly didn't know about it. I am having sooooo much fun! Have a look. There is LOTS more for you to find on your own. I know this is going to keep me busy for the whole weekend. Well, I am going to see La Boheme but except for that.... Andie Poythress Allied Family Information > By William D.
