Suzi, the entry may be either one! That is totally up to you my friend. I'm giving a lot of leeway for everyone so they can become creative! Go for it. I do hope you will enter! I can't wait to read it!

Frank and Sharon, you bet you will receive an extra 200 points just for your entry so everyone is a winner! You would be even without the points but what a great perk!

Todd, you can use it! Why not? Or,,,you can simply be creative yet again and write another!

Gary, this is going to be fun!

These always sound like fun Deb.  I think the only contest I entered was the 'inspired by song' contest.  It was fun, but no one knew my songs.  :-(  Perhaps I'll give this a shot.
