Oh Nell- it's so good to hear that you are all safe in Texas. One question which has been going through my mind, is- did you get the donkey settled before you left? And why is A. stealing from you now? I agree, you need to put all that you can do nothing about, out of your mind or you will go crazy. I hope you are not planning on returning to Ethiopia, ever. I'm glad the animals are well. It will take you all some time to adjust to being stateside again. Was there any resolution with the car? or was A. supposed to deal with it? As far as the cats, keep them in at night- the coyotes will take them. How are the animals adjusting? Oh I can't wait to hear. Glad you are back!!!!! .....Because Nice matters. [Posted in FML 7964]
