So sorry Sandra! I am just so (psychotically?) - hope not - lol - busy with emptying out all my wardrobes, tossing what I no longer can keep and this gent who was supposed to come and fit in my new aluminium window frames - at first promised me he would do them the first week of May and here we are, almost at the end of May and he still has not shown. Until the frames and mess are done and I can move in more cupboards and a new cupboard, I can hardly move my 88 year old mom in so I am just waiting, paitiently (often NOT to patiently) as winter is upon us and I had hoped to move my mother in here before the worst part of the cold weather strikes. My apt. is a whole lot warmer than hers.....rn So sorry you have not heard from me, I often just feel totally overwhelmed by all the things I have to do, so little time, so many bodily aches, etc, etc that I wish I had a fairy God Mother who could wave a magic wand for me...... rnJust know that you ARE still always in my thoughts, okay?rnLeoLady (1956)
