Sorry for any misspelled words in my last post. I meant to hit spell check and hit send instead, and I wasn't finished writing either. Anyway, I don't believe there are any stupid persons on this list so I know that no one was offended. (Just in case I'm wrong, sorry for any offence taken. No offence was meant and I didn't mean that anyone is stupid either. Whew, hope I said all that right.) My hope is that each and every one makes it through the rest of this year and on into the next with no major illness, no loss of home or business and may you and all your loved ones keep warm, safe and alive.
