Hi Diane,
Way to go with the attic!!!! I think I'm at the point where I need a
large block of time to deal with the basement, but coming up with it is the
tricky part. I'm off on Thursday and have an orthodontic evaluation with
middle dd (wow, another payment!), and the kids are begging to see the new
Star Wars movie on opening day. Sunday is the next best day for the attack,
as Saturday is booked solid.
I'm convinced we have angels around us as was evidenced by your van not
going kaput on the road far from home. One of the best things to do if you
have an older vehicle that you're nursing along (as I do) is to find a
mechanic you can really trust. I know that's easier said than done.
Hope you get your computer up and running soon!
Linda in NJ
