In addition, I found a third light when I was scooping up the pieces of the two above - and it is unbroken. Which means I do get to keep a piece that my father made, and I found a useful way to get rid of the others. Yay! For my next act, I will capture and medicate the Eldest cat. Without needing stitches myself. Ready … Set … -- source link
