But only for five years...so there's still a lot to learn. I have a good friend here who married a Greek man over 40 years ago and converted at that time. He still tells her she's "new to the faith" and has more to learn. Ah well, but it does add a wonderful depth to life, or so I've found. I think your poppies would make nice Christmas decorations.
