I thought perhaps I was long overdue to reread, redundantly learn, by rote what and why I do what I appear to do nightly here on my blog!
Most things in life are on a need to know basis, but not everyone is willing to tell you that, except me of course, and……… YOU ARE VERY WELCOME!

Yes, as you can see from the two PICS encapsulated in this evening’s blog below Hubby is nearly all done! Soon is not that far out of reach.

Another redundant issue is my health: as tonight it is a reoccurrence of my darn right shoulder pain and so this is brief tonight, whew, I can hear you all saying, I know in spite of my pain last night I was quite verbose, and redundant!
But of course.

On those recognizable character flaws exposed I will therefore bid you all a fond good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all those overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
