Oh, @zord189! I didn't reply when I wrote this - was busy doing supper and then got caught up in you-know-what. What you said brought a tear to my eye and a lump to my throat. The Husband is now beginning to "get" my Steemit friendships and wishes that at some point there will be a meetup as you put it. Let's hope that one day that will happen.

Thank you for your kind words and, let me say it: you, too, are one of a kind.
