Thank you. It really really sucked. I said it was last year but it was actually August 2011. Almost two years but it seems like yesterday. That freak east coast earthquake broke a water pipe in the condo above ours and destroyed our walls, ceiling, cabinets, carpeting-pretty much everything. Then we were evacuated to a motel and three days later had to evacuate that for a hurricane. Then our condo association started lying to us and jerking us around on the repairs for MONTHS. We ended up with an almost completely remodeled condo but it was awful. We sold it and bought a motorhome and now we're just traveling around for a few years.

Wow, sorry to tell you my life story like that. I hardly ever talk about this because it still makes me cry but sometimes when I get started, the whole story just pours out. Thanks for the kind thoughts though. We're in a good place now.
