We never, ever, lose hope.

We know all the survival tricks. We hope to remain alive. I have edited out my first response. :)

Friends here asked me to post, so I have done so. No more "progress" posts from me for a little while. I don't have energy enough to post in a thoughtful and friendly manner, and it is important to me to be able to do that. PMs and emails are quite welcome.

Thanks and have a great autumn. Happy painting, sorting, selling, baby raising, baking, building, painting, house hunting, weight control, etc.

Warm regards to all.
