Thganx everyone (Donna R, Carolyn, Colleen, Wally, Paul, Donna N, Rob, and Kelly again) Paul, they took advanced "broccoli", eh…. Rob, Mom and Dad were right beside them. Kelly, I had to wait two minutes to get them with all of their heads up. They were drinking from that pond in front of them. Mom and Dad just watched me until I finished and then they moved them all out. Thanx again y'all for the great comments, which are appreciated, as always - Allan #555965
