To all you lovely people:

I was really overwhelmed by this unexpected thread! As many of you know, I am vision-impaired, so Sandy does the computer stuff in this family, and, as some of you may have noticed, I do the telephone and handle other such matters as what to have for lunch. It's a division of labor that works for us. When Sandy read the posts on this thread to me, I must confess, they made me blush!

Aw, shucks, y'all. Thank you, and we love you. Sometimes running a small business like ours means quite a lot of solitary, quiet hours of working at home. I'm not complaining; we really enjoy the peace and quiet. But it is heart-warming to be reminded that some of you out there do appreciate what we have been doing for the past forty years.

Thank you!

Caroline Paton
