Thanks for the kind words, LJ.  Summer has been a busy time for us.  I have checked in from time to time, but haven't posted much.  Hope to get back in the habit. 

  "Uh, I wouldn't be too quick to publish the fact that you don't lock your doors at night".    Thanks for the warning, hiroad. 

   I didn't say that I always went to bed w/out doors locked.  I just feel that, "if I do, we are safe".  I read the headlines & know that there are people out there that... well, they don't think like we do.  Thanks for your reminder & your concern.  My poor grandaughter had the bike that she bought last year, (with her own birthday money), stolen, FROM OUR GARAGE!  What a HORRIBLE lesson for a child to learn.  Shame on the people that did it!  I truly believe & pray that Karma will come in to play/ with them or a person they love.  I hope that the person that took my grandchild's bike from her has something precious stolen from them, or better; to look into the eyes of a person they love very deeply & see the sadness & disappointment in humanity that my husband & I had to see. 

    I'm glad to see you posting as well, Nigel.  Summer is a busy time.
