Thanks y'all! You mean the world to me. I napped, read, and ate. That was it. And I enjoyed it totally. As you may remember, I have five brothers and sisters, all married, all with children, and all within a 30 minute drive (except Beth and Chuck right now) and I didn't see any of them. On purpose. Just me, mom, and the LF. Quiet and joyful. It's gotten exponentially better since we moved. Nothing has gone majorly wrong since then (after two years of it), and life is so very joyful these days. LF and I even spent the day figuring out where we're going on vacation. It was great to have to decide where, not if. It's gonna be a fantastic year!

Robin, hope you are feeling better by now. I, too, had to chuckle at Lilo's interpretation of your words. Don't think I would have caught it, otherwise. I imagine most languages have puns, double meanings for words, etc., but since English is the only one I know, I love it for its twists, turns, and sometimes crazy rules. But it must be awful for someone trying to learn it as a second language.
