Each day now is a bonus so be sure to take more work breaks and give her lots of extra love.<br /><br />Yes the world is going crazy. Even the weather is upside down all over the world. I am beginning to think that 2020 was a dry run for 2021, ugh!! Hopefully you will get to Alaska.<br /><br />Love all the new stuff including finishing the stairs and the Jeep but that fiberoptic set up is fabulous. Looking forward to more news next time.<br />Contessa https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482663305121297253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82618797339149088.post-10745443138524559522021-01-11T11:33:46.924-08:002021-01-11T11:33:46.924-08:00So, just so I understand.... if I would have follo...So, just so I understand.... if I would have followed those steps Barb would not have been injured and I would not be in the doghouse?
