You've had more than your fair share of 'horrors' / experiences.<br /><br />Wonderful story ... especially for many of us as we know some of the other 'things' you've been through.<br /><br />Love Midnight's jealousy!! Glad you've got mischievous company around ... they make you laugh and smile ... while Survivor Duck shows we can all survive ... <br /><br />Good luck and cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-19443328702797762172015-07-25T16:17:48.894-05:002015-07-25T16:17:48.894-05:00Exactly.
