Thank you for your nice compliments - you're always like a breath of fresh air and a ray of sunshine!
How neat that your parents could make their winter trek down to Florida with a group of other retirees doing the same, 'caravan-style'. Takes a lot of pressure off you and Mr. D, and for whatever reason we've gotten to see multiple posts from you this morning, I am happy about it!
Do hate to hear about Rusty, bless his sweet little heart. You're not used to one this size and this feisty, are you! Hope that surgery won't be required, and the leg will heal on it's on. Poor baby. :(
