Thanks, Carol, for the birthday greetings. I don't know how you found time what with watching fledglings, but I do appreciate your thoughtfulness.

No, Donna, it was not exactly a vacation. We had a big leak in the upstairs bathroom last week and ended up staying with our daughter to avoid the noise and mess of the industrial fans and dehumidifiers. All is dry at last and we get our living room ceiling repaired and repainted today, and upstairs bathroom ceramic tiles replaced tomorrow. THEN we will celebrate my birthday!
