Stick at it debetha, if kids will eat soup it makes life so much easier for a quick meal.  Hope your car was under cover when the balls of ice came down and hey, congratulations on the good news of your pregnancy (I haven't noticed it before so presuming it is something you've just added).

I hope 'illish' doesn't mean very ill Gretchen.  Sorry to hear that, I've been searching the places you usually haunt to see if you have been active on them - you had me very worried and when you didn't answer my pm, I thought you'd fallen off your perch.  Thank goodness you are still with us, missed your soapbox speeches  :-* :-* :-*

So nice to hear from you again Gretchen - like JD I had visited a few blogs where I had previously noticed action from you to see is you were alive and kicking, as I very much enjoy your stance on topics.  Cheers - hope you stay well!!!!!!!  :)  :)  :)

Recently I have been thinking about you and the lack of posts from you. Today I actually searched for you via the membership tab to see when you last posted. When I saw it was today I thought I had somehow just missed reading you posts but now realise you actually have been missing in action. Hope your illness is not serious Gretchen and you are back to full steam very soon. I've missed your witty comments .  :-* :-*
