It is expected to reduce the number  of trips

A dose of birthday cheer

Today it's Lynn's birthday. She hasn't been around lately because her family is still coming to terms with the loss of her much loved father-in-law and she doesn't feel inspired to write comments at the moment. But... it IS her birthday today and I hope the cakes and the jokes will bring a smile to her face. Happy birthday, dear friend!
