Whatever you are doing; it's working! You have the patience of a saint!
Glad you had a wonderful Mother's Day!
I think patience and persistance is the key to most sitches. Sitting back and just "watching"; like a bystander not attached to the situation; is for the best.
I have a good feeling about your new thread. I think it has everything to do with your outlook on this! It's contagious; when I grow up I want to be like you! LOL
