    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    Z~~if you are reading I hope you are ok?

    I am ok, just not on as much. With working as well, my typing is not what it was, so I'm "saying" less. I have a virtual sore "throat" as it were... :rotfl:

    Well to be fair - the fence itself is probably made from dead trees too - so it is fitting...

    You are good with your friends, so it's not quite "luck".
