Your positive attitude is a joy to read, M&M.
Those around you are lucky people :-)
I see Pixie has again found the Internet so it is to
herself I direct you, that lady knows her stuff.
Keep reading and keep on digitising, M&M.. the star, as
a motif, would be a good piece of work.
Hoping to see more of the same in the years to
come :-)
