I know I heard it before too Sheila, but can't remember where. It's much too soon for a "senior moment" dontcha think?

Tracey - It's like an artist's palette. Too bad it's so short lived. I thought the blue sky really set it off.

Far too soon Paul. I'm posting from sunny Seville, where the sky is the same blue!

Sheila: I've done a little research on the title and this is what I found;

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is a 1943 novel written by Betty Smith. The story focuses on an impoverished but aspirational, second-generation Irish-American, adolescent girl and her family in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York City, during the first two decades of the 20th century. The book was an immense success.

Well done, Paul, thank you. That title obviously resonated with many people . . .
