Happy anniversary **FairyChats**!

Oh, and anything with coconut gets a pass from me. No thanks. Why would one ruin perfectly good chocolate with coconut??

Although I like the occasional gummy (at least the _special_ ones), I heartily agree with this list with the addition of marshmallow stuff.

Congratulations!

From a shopper’s perspective, finding pot / pan lids at the thrift store when you are missing one is the difference between continuing to use a pan or sending it to recycling.

Please do check in with us now and again to let us know you’re OK. You know we worry.

Thank you for taking care of her. You’re right about being much happier (and healthier).

To answer the OP, I enjoy a warm rain in the summer, but detest the cold rains that we get in the fall here. It rained all night last night. I had to suit both Nelson and I up in rain gear to go out before bed and when we got up this morning. Cold rain also makes my bones creakier.

Not a whole lot shaking at CasaRoja, but am enjoying a little reddish dog in my arms.

Stay safe and healthy y’all!
