Hi LeeAnne and Teresa!

LeeAnne, La Niña is happy, healthy, and huge!

She did weigh 108 lbs., but I've had her on a weight-loss food and she is down to 101 lbs. now...probably a healthier weight for her. She still sometimes likes to plop her upper half on me when I'm sitting on the couch...OUCH! I didn't mean to ignore your emails and hope you didn't take that as a slight. I've just been very busy and a little down in the dumps for a while. My DH has senile dementia which just gets progressively worse, and it takes up a lot of my time to try to take care of him and keep him in a reasonably happy/civil mood. I've been reading more than chatting for the last six months or more.
Teresa, things are about the same. My youngest daughter,"My Darling Baby Boy" (who's now 8

) and his ornery, adorable, sweet Baby Sis (who's now 3 and just a blast to be around
![Yahoo @O@](https://www.worldwidewatergardeners.org/forum/Smileys/smilies_smf/yahoo.gif)
) were here for the last week, so I'm in a better mood than usual. DH seems to be more lucid and a little less argumentative when there are other people around.
Well, now that I've told the whole world my family secrets, I just want you all to know I'm just trying to explain my lack of communication. I could probably be described as a "reserved" and reasonably quiet type of person, so if I don't have anything halfway cheerful to say, I don't talk much. I will try to speak up a little more from now on. Since Spring is officially here, I hope I can get outside and do a bit of ponding and gardening soon.
