I just got a call from Ashleigh and Day 1 of school was FUN&#33;&#33;  They did Arts &amp; Crafts and the teacher &quot;hardly yelled at all&quot;  Best of all - no homework tonight so all is well and happy and she can&#39;t wait to go back tomorrow.   Let&#39;s hope that lasts for a while.   <br /><br />Andrea - stay high &amp; dry with all that rain.    I&#39;m so glad you like the new &quot;open&quot; look for your kitchen.   <br /><br />Jenn - are the plums from trees you have?   How nice that they can be put to good use. Loved the teacher you sent but I don&#39;t think I will show it to Ashleigh just yet.   <br /><br />Tonia - so happy to hear from you.    Sorry about the voice - I&#39;m sure being on the phone constantly doesn&#39;t help.<br /><br />Robert - thanks for the link.   It&#39;s great and very helpful<br /><br />Ed - Great that you got your cruise confirm.   Always fun to have a countdown to a cruise.<br /><br />Time to do something about dinner - liver and onions tonight.   yummy   Jim has a Post meeting so we have to have an early dinner so he has a chance to TRY and balance the books before the meeting.<br /><br />
