Thanks so much, everybody! There were a LOT of very heartwarming and funny responses to the “Aftermath” post I put up after Thanksgiving. Seems we all have very similar crazy families, LOL — and it feels good to know that I wasn’t all by myself, (laughing! Oh, man!)
But isn’t that just the thing, the common bond 
That’s the characters in the compound, just like a couple of folks said they could definitely see it–and we were all laughing and nodding together. Glad it inspired some folks to bring their net in and pull family together. It’s hard with all the things competing for your attention–everybody is overworked and underpaid and doesn’t have enough hours in the day… but pulling family together is worth the effort.
So, thanks EVEYBODY for reminding me, sharing your stories, and making my day! Ahhh… when we share the stories and the common bond it makes it not seem so much like you’re out there by yourself, doesn’t it I love you guys! You all get it and always come right back with some stuff that just makes me shake my head, tickled, talking back to my screen–I sooo appreciate that, bless you!
BIG PHILLY HUG, Leslie!
