Congratulations to everyone who made the list.

Love, Chrissy

I'm still with you. I agree, there's a lot of names I don't recognize.

Congratulations one and all.

Dag-Gum--I just realized I've NEVER been a bridesmaid before!

Congrats to everyone on the lists!

Still, I miss some names...

You might not hear me because I congratulating you from the back forty of the list, the part that doesn't exist; where there are no names to be found.

But that's okay, I went 28 poems and three years without seeing any light. I just love to write and reading all of your excellent entries.

But
CONGRATS TO ALL and to Lisa M. for the honor of birdesmaid; and to Lisa M. for the honor of bridesmaid. seeing how she likes to repeat herself on this thread.

EDITED/ADDED NOTE (SO that's how you are going to do me ... just delete the evidence ... and leave my line hanging and people scratching their heads, "What is Henry rambling about now?" Like they don't do that enough already ) Thanks

So, to finish, thanks for all the comments and to the judges for all the hard work they do. The view of all of your great work is excellent from back here

Henry C.

ROFL ... I saw a lot of bridesmaid comments for you, here and on Facebook, and didn't connect until just now. Yep, Lisa, this week you are the bridesmaid. Or probably should be matron of honor, as you have actually been the "bride" many a time.

Love, Deb

That's because you're usually the bride.
