Dearest readers,

I have missed you over my two week summer vacation and have lots to share with you! My apologies for my prolonged absence.

Unfortunately, the end of my vacation brought me a badly jammed right thumb that requires an out-patient procedure with my doctor later this week. Until next Monday, typing is out of the question for me, doctor’s orders. (Mr. CARO, husband extraordinaire, is patiently typing this note to you as I dictate. He’s a sweetie!)

Until Monday, feel free to browse the archives to see if you missed anything. Have a great  week and I will talk with you soon!
