Thank you very much, @jayna. I was having a hard day yesterday, dragging along. Then I started editing this and got reacquainted with Doris. I went to bed peaceful and woke up cheerful.

I've said it before: writing is my tonic, and I most love to write stories. I had to chop it to keep it close to Inkwell's guidelines. Chopped almost 2000 words! Still, it works :)) Shows I should have been more economical in the first place.

I appreciate your taking the time to read and comment.
