Thanks and here's to (the rest) of 2012.

Thany you all so very much for the supportive comments after our big ordeals over the New Year.
Things have now settled, and we're getting back to a new normal. I really appreciate your comments and emails very much; it makes a difference when people empathise and sympathise.

We're all back to work/school, though eldest daughter is not back to college till next week (lucky girl!).

As an easy new post, I came across this somewhere in blogland, can't remember where, but I enjoyed doing it, and you may enjoy it too.
