Besides tact, the thing I'm working on is that it is not necessary to have something to say on every occasion. Keeping my mouth closed has always been hard for me!

lol anneliese. I don't have a shed, but I do have a very nice guest room you can hide out until the 27th of this month. That is when our people will come to "visit" and celebrate a B-day.

Come on to my house, the guest room is always ready. Let's see, how long from your house to mine?

You are welcome at our house, too, Anneliese. Only thing is--it's the cat's bedroom, too! However, she sleeps curled next to me at night, so that would't be a problem.

I'm really sorry to hear that your husband fell, again. That's a worry/concern that's always 'lurking' in our house, too.
