-Elton Trueblood

For Mum (thanks for the quote, Karen!)

Incidentally, I got a new mop this weekend and it surprised me. I felt like we were Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers
...except that I am female and don't dance anywhere near his genius and Miss Mop was a platinum blonde with a twig of a body...

Green Girl, people who plant trees are wise!
