Bubba Vic, You will never know just how much I am enjoying the
Holunder Web Site you just gave me. So much so, that I stopped
working on the email letter for you on which I had started and will
now wait until tomorrow to finish it. Meanwhile, I will go back and
read all the poems, recipes and stories and look at the paintings of
Holunder bushes.
