Dear AHS my hubbie and I just finished two years house sitting with your fabulous site. We were rarely without a roof. In that time I wrote and had published one non fiction book plus a workbook. We also paid off our mortgage which is wonderful for two pensioners in our later years. Thanks a lot for all your help. Christine
