Nancy, I've been married for 13 years and got recruited into the home repair
wisdom early on... Ken isn't big on these things... He has learned some,
but has no desire to take on the responsiblity of learning it all.. so just
like when I took sky diving lessons.. I decided then that I could do
whatever I chose to do, if I had the peace in my heart... That too is why I
didn't jump.. but I know how to!!! LOL!! Love you dear heart.. Carla
