I cheered long and loud when the Saints came marching back--what a triumph over circumstance their win this year was.

The only thing that is getting up my nose is the song!! I know it, I know the tune, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is called. I do have delayed brain reaction so it will probably come to me during the day.<br /><br />It is so good to see you back at the keyboard!! No doubt your updated and now virus-free computer will inspire you to great things.Ozstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057523110612961307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8418555982744550533.post-31636507714327471442010-02-15T13:51:42.764-08:002010-02-15T13:51:42.764-08:00Fantastic digital collage.Fantastic digital collage.Silvia(Barnie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05752265155723103197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8418555982744550533.post-88895510119390459082010-02-15T12:55:46.180-08:002010-02-15T12:55:46.180-08:00Bev, this is fantastic!

It's funny, but even I, here in Oz, was happy to see that the Saints won the Superbowl, knowing what a great morale booster it would be for New Orleans. You have expressed all of that so well!
