We will be out of town this weekend. I'll be leaving my tank in the care of our son. Wish me luck! I probably won't have internet access so I'll take this opportunity to wish you all a happy 4th of July!
Going away for the 4th? Alright! Have a great weekend! Do a little flag waving. Stay out of trouble. I'll miss you while your gone, be happy when you're back. Expect a big squeeze when you return.
Have fun, Carmie.
Dick

Thank you, Gwenn. I come by it naturally because of my parents.
When I was just a kid, my Mother was always happy and went out of her way to make everyone around her feel good. I asked her one day why she was always so happy and her response stuck with me to this day. She said, "I'm too busy to be unhappy and I like it when other people think I did some little thing to make them happy". I learned a life lesson from her that day. And many others over the years. Here's another that comes to mind. My best friend was a neighborhood bully. I had to be his best friend. He kicked the tar out of everyone that wasn't his friend. My mother said to me many times, "Don't be a bully like him, be a friend to everyone. You are his only friend but, you will have many friends". So, I grew up watching my mother bestow kindness on others and I guess it stuck with me. She was right about my friend. He lives the life of a recluse, alone, without friends, male of female. Me? I'm blessed with many friends and you know at least one of them.

Thanks for all of your well wishes. You are all so sweet! We had a nice visit with my hubby's family and are back home. I've missed you all. My son did fine and tank looks good!
PS Don't go away for 4 days or you will have 754 new posts!
