Wonderful darling and for me I could see the young girl that was me, holding her babies close and trying to wish for them the best of the best for their lives.

Re: fovertherainbow
Thank you for the nice compliment and comment. Simply said, if one uses the words "if I were" it means it's fantasy. If you say, "if I was" it's used for reality. Sorry you took it to be an English lesson. I was expounding upon the fact that this was written as a supposition, not a reality. I can see now that nobody cares one way or the other. :) You are not a dummy at all, nor is anyone here on Blogit, and I don't judge anyone's use of English. The notation was made because I, myself, like to know when to use which term. I thought people might wonder why I didn't say "if I was..." It's not school here, and we aren't graded. I am deeply sorry that I gave you that impression, and I enjoy reading your posts.

yes, you are a splended poet, and a wonderful teacher. but i am sorry to say even when you explain it to me i do not understand our english language. so in the future if i use the words were or was incorrectly it's not because you are not a wonderful teacher, i am just a dummy.

Re: CCT
Thank you. You honor me more than I deserve by your kind words. The kitchen is a royal mess, the plasterers are "busy," but whenever they arrive it will be great. I just don't know when it will happen. I am having out-of-town company and they will see the place like it is, under construction.

If I were allowed to I would say that you were a splendid poetess. If I were young again I might write something more poetical. How's your kitchen coming along?
