Kitties are good, too.)<br /><br />Wait, where was I?<br /><br />We will read Erin's comments with appreciation whenever they appear. In the meantime, I'm so grateful that you pointed us back to your earlier posts, which were all excellent. I've left a comment on each, so that none of them would feel slighted.<br /><br />And now for a nice hot drink of.... steamed milk with a bit of vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon, please. I can't have sugar or alcohol, or even tea or coffee, so my choices are limited. But a nice steamer?

Just need to type it up, cut, paste, reshuffle and probably rewrite parts, but it's really fun!
