Thanks, all, for your kind wishes. WYSIWYG, if you wish to pray for me, that would be lovely! All kinds of helping hands are welcome. Thanks for the offer, Amos! I wish I could buy it myself! Given the price they are asking for the whole house ($400,000) it hit me the other day: I am living in a $180,000 condo!! What a life. Ten years ago, this house would not have even cost half of that...

If I get to stay on a bit I shall have a Mudcat gathering here! Okay, there isn't the huge space we had at Barry's but enough for a crowd maybe half that size...

More snow on the way: six inches or more; mixed with rain...
