Hi Franz, not sure you will see this but I certainly understand! Just want to thank you so much for "sticking with me as my situation appears to be very similar to yours: never enough time to do the things we truly love, which is comment and view...BIG Hugs and Kisses to Emila and Happy 2 years and 5 months :-) I think that is great that you celebrate every month! And Grandma looks VERY happy here too...watch that back and don't hurt yourself any more, Irene! It's not good for the attitude :-) Love all you guys and take care..I am literally freezing this winter :-)

28 Feb 2014 11:51pm

@Denny Jump Photo: thanks for taking the time, denny, despite everything ... and thanks for taking an interest in our little mouse's "development" ;-) i'll tell irene what you wrote and hope she'll act accordingly ;-) (again!) as to you freezing this winter, we follow with interest and concert the capricious weather along the east coast - we, on the other had, have had another winter with no snow, and right now with spring-like temperatures ( 12° C). take care, sir, and have a great weekend !!!
