Thanks Talou. You have already been too generous; that was a cartload of gifts you left me! The last challenge ended while I was away (but I wasn't going for the whole thing anyway) and now I am just stocking up on supplies before the next one starts. Lidewey has made a similar offer to yours and I need to get back to her as well. I am currently well stocked with tools. What I have the least of are horseshoes of any description. I have 5 regular ones and 1 diamond left.

The hospitalization was ultimately due to the failure of meters I use to manage a chronic condition and so it got out of my control. Even then, I would have been out days earlier if my body hadn't been sending out signals of damage that hadn't happened. At least now there is no question that I am very healthy...just with a number of chronic conditions.

Thanks again, Jo.
