Mary Lou, <br />
     The kitchen is coming along slowly but between you and me and everyone else reading this, they might be back a third time. I &#39;m keeping my mouth shut until they&#39;re finished at the end of the week but it still looks like there will be some fixing after. <br />
      Every day, when you say to keep smiling, that kind of calms me at least for a while. The trick is for me to   to keep saying that all day. <br />
<br />
mercedes, I like your new avatar. <br />
Joey, isn&#39;t it great when you have nothing planned. I love those days the <br />
     best. <br />
Keith, I hope all you have is a mild cold. With the nursing care you have, <br />
     I&#39;m sure you&#39;ll feel better in no time at all. Take good care. <br />
Cheryl, stay safe and warm in that winter storm.
