Dee, you excuded great quiet dignity...the family mob can be quite an eye opener isn't it?
congrats on spending extended time with the family and coming home in one piece..i hope you enjoyed them and i'm sure they are looking up to you.
I often feel the same way....i love my family and friends, but there is no place like the peace and quiet of my house...MY sancutary too.
it will be a Happy NEW YEAR!
