First of all I would like to thank those of you who have taken the time to comment. I really do appreciate the effort you take to pull me out of my depression. I am in a bit of a quandry. There are five more postings to be made and my wonderful spouse and I are leaving this continent in five days. My original goal was to post "Five Love Stories en Brochette" before we left; however, time may make it difficult to do so. I might check out how to do the delayed posting. There is another option. I could stop posting and pick up after we return in the first week of August.

Has anyone figured out what the mystery is? PM me if you think you know.

Thanks again to the hardy few who have been kind enough to comment and vote.
