Susan, I'm happy to hear that you will finally be making the move! I hope everything goes well and you will be able to settle in and enjoy life again; you've been in quite a turmoil for way too long
Lyn -- do you have garbage pickup where you are? or, if not, what do you eventually do with it? Those darn bears can be such a nuisance once they learn to go for the easy pickings instead of earning an honest living for themselves
