Thanks Regina,

Yes, my mother was tall (5'10) and that's where I get my height (6'1).

You're probably right. I was trying to tell too many stories in such a short space. The connections were in my head - and not translated on the page. Hmmn... I think I can tighten it up. Stay tuned.

That's what I love about the Writers Forum. The critiquing, comments, and encouragement.

Peace,
