By the way - Billie - thanks to you also for the contribution. Funny - if the weather were nicer I'd go next door and visit my neighbor who is an undertaker.... it is so nice to have people who are willing to help and share online ( esp in the chills of winter) Mark ---- I have grown to really hate the cold --- I can't imagine how our ancestors of the past dealt with the frigid weather living in homes that were anything but comfortable - warm and cozy --- they must have been fairly rugged folk - to survive for any length of time.
