Hi everyone! I've been MIA for a few weeks because of a very unusual stream of visitors. Unusual in that we almost never have houseguests (kids and grands live in town), except for MIL at Christmas. However, my DT's younger son and his long-time girlfriend came to stay first, leaving just in time for MIL to put in an appearance for DGS's first communion. She, in turn, left just in time for my nephew and girlfriend to return after traveling to some of the nearby national parks. They're gone now, though I wouldn't have minded a bit if they'd wanted to stay longer -- they were just delightful! :)
I've had to simply mark all messages as read, so congratulations to all who deserve them, and hugs to all who need those as well. Back to normal now!
