Thanks for posting!!!

And, it is also a genuflect to the new King. That is also there.

BTW, I don't want to make new thread but I hope people will indulge me if I say this in this thread. (Apologies to Karynnj for this subthread in her post.)

I will be around less frequently for a while. My Mother had a stroke yesterday and I am going back and forth to the hospital and involved with my huge family and all that this entails. (There are 28 of us and that is just kids, spouses, grandkids. We are just getting to extended family and there are swarms of them to talk to still. Lots of telephone time. And hospital visits. Oh and a new job. Busy stuff.)

MY apologies in advance for being so scarce lately. I keeping up as I can.

and very sad to here about your mom. My thoughts are with you in what has to be a really difficult time. Congratulations on the job.

Sorry to hear about your Mom. I'll keep her in my prayers.

Stay strong, and congratulations on the new job.

I know how much kindnesses were appreciated when our family was so besieged by bad news in recent years.

Big :hug:

Sending good thoughts to you, your Mom, and your family.
