Howdy Sandy, Not long enough! One month from today niece
gets married. She is on the other end of this big state. Quilt
in the works. Maki cat getting his ear tumors remonved today
and I am worrying about him while dd's new house recorded
today too and nobody has keys or garage opener or a clue
where they might be. She is very cranky.
Chrismas might be a breeze if I survive dd's move.
