I Have a Tail!
Finally, I have a tail. And I purchased it at a $6,000 discount! And it covers me just as well. What a relief!

SOLUTIONS:
My husband always comes up with creative solutions. Unfortunately, they usually require more effort on my part than his. Recent example: I mentioned that the flowers I had recently planted at our house tend to wither if left without water several days. Since we would be in Mexico I suggested that we set the automatic sprinkler system to every other day rather than twice weekly as it is currently. Nope, that would cost WAY too much to water the flowers that much, so he recommended I dig up all of my flowers and plant new ones that are drought-resistent. Hmm. I think I'll pass. I'm pretty sure we can afford to water my flowers for another month.

I'd like to thank . . .
My granddaughter, Caroline for getting me a new cell phone. Because of her I have a new state-of-the-art cell phone that works in any country in the world without extra charge. Yep! While we were in Houston she decided to see if my phone would float - in the toilet. Nope, it didn't. So now I have a new phone, because my generous husband gave me his - since he already has a blackberry that he can use. So if I want a blackberry, all I have to do is go visit Caroline.

MY TAIL
I have to buy myself a tail.
And I'm not too happy about it.
The reason that I'm not happy about it is because it is costing me $16,657.00.
That's right! In U.S. dollars. (the official estimate from the underwriters.)
A bit pricey, if you ask me.
But part of the cost of being able to live my husband again.
I hope he appreciates the sacrifice.
