I hope you find this helpful sometime. Now I am going to tape it back on my kitchen cabinet door where it has been for the past 15 or so years. I have to get some chores done to get ready for our drive to GA later today. Bill and I are going for our great-grandson's 2nd birthday. I will take my laptop so I will still be in touch on this blog.
