Love it! Is your friend Judy, Judy 2011?
Yes. Judy hasn't posted here, she said, in some years, but is active on FB. She has seen you there. Her husband is with her most of the time now since he's retired. They're both very avid photographers and very good. If you've seen his long flowing white hair, you'll know who I'm talking about. He's a big time Willie Nelson and country fan as well. That explains the hair.

She just posted in reply to my Antelope Island bison shot and said that they will be going to Antelope Island soon to get hummingbird photos.

Yes, but when spoken properly, they are not homophones. I'm not sure I like the English language, but it seems I'm stuck with it. THEREfore, I try to speak (and use) it properly.

I don't know what dialect you're using, but they sound alike to me. "They're here." They're sounds just like their and there. At least that's how I was taught. Of course, there are those who say "theya hea," in which case they would not sound the same.

First, "they're" is 2 syllables. "There" rhymes with hair. I can't think of anything that rhymes with "their." And I try to avoid dialects.
