I am lucky to have excellent critter sitters that will be in charge, but I will worry endlessly. <br />Have a great time with your time away and try to relax enough to enjoy your visit. <br />Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10966566655228721549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-13656854058180466962013-08-18T18:27:28.324+00:002013-08-18T18:27:28.324+00:00That's an impressive workforce you have lined ...That's an impressive workforce you have lined up...did you rescue the goldfish?Nota Benehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969705852180234416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-51279703545421163342013-08-18T18:04:30.148+00:002013-08-18T18:04:30.148+00:00Wow.
