Hey Tod,
Happy belated Veteran's Day! It sounds like you and Jethro had a really great day!
My maiden name initials were KP & my dad retired from the Navy, so Kp duty was a term I heard often growing up lol. Didn't much like it either, ha!
I just read that it was a hawk that got Marilyn. I didn't realize that. Oh man, that's horrible! I really am so, so sorry hun.
I wouldn't know about how costly a plumber would be either...thk goodness! Rob is pretty much a jack of all trades too.
Hope your wkend is going well. (( Hugs ))
