We have to keep cutting the fat and then adding things that keep our readers jumping and waiting for our next sentence!<br />I've been at a standstill this summer. I've helped plan a family reunion for Aug 3 and our daughter and her family are due here this evening from near Boston. We'll have a hectic few days then off to the reunion. I'm sure I'll be exhausted when it's over. My plan is to start fresh in Sept. Keep up the good work! BB.
