Good morning, Kim! So glad to have you back! It sounds like things were worth the hassle. If the weather holds out as expected, we are going to a baseball game Saturday afternoon, so we might be to chat late. It would be worth it, though, to get out of the house when the weather is good. Smiles. Enjoy your new and improved connection!
