Re: Hi Everyone

So glad to see that you are back, and ok! I was worried about you. You werent the only one on hiatus, which made it worse. We havent heard much from Chasity, Pamela, and i think Jeannine posted couple of days ago. Adam was gone for a while, but is now back. He has discovered that his outside dog is infested. Sucks. But, so tell us how things were during the break. Have you come up with any more ideas? So sorry you are still dealing with this.Holly>> Happy New Year!> Sorry for the sudden hiatus...
