PAINT SPOTS - FEBRUARY 2000
by Jeri StoneAs I sit here writing 'Paint Spots' for February I have to think our winter is here. It has been snowing and it is white and very beautiful out right now. But I must say now that it is here it can go and not come back for another year or until I am over in New Zealand. And when you read this hopefully that is where I will be.
