kat has been giving me "lectures" about accepting "thank-yous" for this thread.....instead of feeling embarassed.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm You're welcome. bg

It was a VERY hard thing for me to write all this out.....BUT a VERY healing process for me. Your posts in response to it continue to give me a peaceful "heart smile".

When I realized how MUCH Mudcats has been helping me stand back up again, I would have BURST if I didn't say THANK-YOU....esp. to Max for opening the door and letting us all "set a spell". So, THANK-YOU ALL back again and the nurturing community we ARE.

CapriUni.....the baby lilacs AND my grandmother's roses LOVE it here...I've taken pictures of the leaves sprouting on them and (maybe)??? will put them on the "picture page".

Spaw.....I don't care WHAT "they" say about you......you are a VERY sweet, kind human being!!!!!!!!

and Morticia.....IF reading about "potato peelers" gave you a trace of a giggle.....put one on your wall....so you can glance at it every so often...and breathe.
