Blueprint

The principles of structured stone
convey a scheme for living
like when to bear the weight alone
or when to be forgiving,
and how to harness common sense
when squaring strong foundations
a level is your best defense
stay true in all relations.

  6. Well I'm glad it rocked you Shirley ;-) Now I think you should tell Glenn you're sorry, it's not like he's a big hairy spider, besides crickets make sweet music.

    I've always meant to ask you Glenn, is weta pronounced with a long or short e? (don't ask me what that has to do with your comment) Spunky huh, I like that! And how praytell did you extricate yourself from that church without bringing the whole thing down, or is this a past life thing?

    Hey Billy, well I'm glad someone is and thanks for all your efforts!!
