  2. Oh my goodness Stanski - I have no idea how I've missed your bouquet of ebooks. Did you just put those up or have I been so focused on a particular poem that I only noticed them here today?! Either way - congratulations - I am certain they are as wonderful as each read here every Sunday morning.
