Thank you!
Hi from Nashville quarantine, Lanelle-My post is in message 20 and my completion repost is in message 35. Apparently my post is a good at hiding as I am. :-)
I was building my courage about venturing from my 4-month isolation when Nashville and TN had a huge spike. I will resign myself to living vicariously through message 35.
Be safe and happy reading,
Jonquil
