Hi Robin! I am happy to be missed! Life has been very hectic. My 3 and 5 year old grandchildren ( who live in the same town as I do --- a very smart decision on their mother's part) are in a summer camp program that does not have a bus, so I am driving 3 times a day (they don't even have the same hours). And my 17 month old twin grandsons, who live 20 minutes away, have a babysitter who has been struggling with the flu, so I keep getting emergency calls to come help out. Next week we go to our upstate house with daughter #2 and the twins, and the week after that DH and I will be there alone---so I will get some much needed rest!
Also, this group of people on PZI are a very savvy bunch, and they have complicated cats, so even tho I lurk, I often have nothing useful to add.
