I have to say that you and Carlos have done an amazing job raising Skye. She is such a well mannered, kind, graceful young lady. She appear to be the best of both you and Carlos. I saw an episode where she had models of various races on the wall and thought back then that she was an exceptional person to see beauty in all people. Thank you for bringing such a wonderful addition to humankind.

I can't find the way to make a comment to Niki from my phone. I want to tell her I had an ant problem the last four years but not this year. They only came into the kitchen for around 2 or 3 weeks. I planted mint on both sides of our back door to the kitchen outside and that is the only change there has been.

Carlo's mother looks very healthy in this video! I imagine her sons and grandchildren have been taking great care of her. A 6.5 hour drive to and from the homes every two weeks sounds a bit tiring. But many people drive hundreds of miles per day every weekday. So, it can be done and will be so good for your souls, until you decide it no longer serves you. That is the beauty of making plans, they can be changed.

We do borax with sugar and a small amount of water to make a paste. 1 part borax to 4 parts sugar. Put it in a glass salt 🧂 and pepper bottle, lay it side ways and wait. They attack it, some will die in the bottle but those that get out take it to the queen and she’ll die which will stop them from coming back. You may need to move it around if any pop up close by. Hope that helps.
