Hi Claire,

We've missed you too! It sounds as if you really enjoyed your

vacation and considering all the time you and were sick and then you

having to be hospitalized I can think of no one who more deserved a vacation!

I'm glad you're back, you are such a sweet kind person and that comes out in

every one of your posts.
