Thank you for the update and Nice to see the Daily Summary return!! Missed you guys RicRac. Hope everything is ok.
We were on vacation and unable to keep up with watching and giving you a reasonable summary of the day. We are home now and hope to stay on top of the daily summary. Our day jobs also sometimes limit our ability to keep up, unfortunately that has to be done in order to keep the lights on. We are glad to see that the summaries are read and are missed when we don’t get them done. Thanks for the love.
