Tangled up in Zen...

A friend of mine I never knew suddenly appeared in my life...Cuzin of a cuzin she is and a sweetheart at that...For me it was an instant click...The phone rang, "meet me for breakfast in 30 minutes", this family stranger said...For some reason I jumped at the chance...I'm glad i did...

She has me tangled up in zen...Take a look...It's the weekly tangle #74 and I've only been tangling for a few days...I think i will never stop...

Thank you Cuzin of a Cuzin... :)
