He does much better work than the fellows I pay.<br /><br />Linda Starr,<br />Back was bad but at least my allergies waited till they left. I am feeling lucky there. <br />Yep, it is that ugly time of year weather wise.<br /><br />Olkhdan,<br />I would have thought Ron would have been Mr.Handy. Oh well, he is cute and sweet which counts a lot. <br /><br />Mom of 12,<br />Thanks. So glad "Sweetie" is handy but can see with both your schedules that it would be hard to keep up. <br /><br />Cheryl,<br />Hopefully you are a tactful nagger to that talented procrastinator. <br /><br />Ginnie,<br />Thanks, and are you ever lucky to have TWO such fellows available. <br /><br />Bica,<br />Thanks, I have had the ugly S also. I am 100% now. We both need to do our back exercises.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-21166218182653445432012-04-16T22:42:42.654-05:002012-04-16T22:42:42.654-05:00Glad you are still blogging!!

You will always be welcome wherever you go. <br /><br />Dianne,<br />I am so sorry about David. I'll add your place to Jim's list.

It helped them and made us feel useful and kept us out of trouble.<br /><br />Since our sons handle their own repairs, we now do the same for Denny's sister who after years of renting has purchased a house and thus needs some occasional assistance. And she introduces us to great Albuquerque restaurants as payment.
