Laurie, thanks for starting this thread!

Souraya, I am so sorry that your life has been "on hold" for so long. It does get very old. I do have to agree, that in the years to come, you will wonder how you ever made it - and will laugh about having one pot, one pan, one dish. Did you have to share?

The photos of Andrew and Drake are so beautiful - the background/park is amazing and so peaceful looking.

I am sorry that your allergies had to be completely out of control before they would help you. Hopefully you have your medications now when you need them.

I am sure I join everyone here in wishing you a happy life as soon as you can settle down and get it somewhat organized.

Thanks for the pictures and it is always good to hear from you.
