I didn't even think this was real when I first opened it. THIS belongs in a story book. It's so beautiful and your treatment, Rona, is out of this world. Thank you for telling us the history, too. Many of us don't get the change to travel this far from home so to be able to go there, because of you, means a lot!

Love it lots! FAVD!

Rona, I think a jigsaw puzzle company ought to see this and buy the rights for a puzzle from you. It would make a great one (and one that would tax a veteran puzzle solver too). And, of course, congratulations on the finalist. #9324147
