A stomach virus hit our house pretty hard this week.  Monday, Franny and I succumbed to the bug, Tuesday it was Rick’s turn, and then today, Franny relapsed.  Everyone was feeling good as of bedtime, and I am just hoping that is the end of it.  So much cleaning and disinfecting has been tedious—in this month to be thankful, I can say I am extremely thankful for the steam cleaner, the ‘sanitize’ setting on the washing machine, and of course, what is usually a healthy household.  In a year that has been typified as ‘anything goes’, there are only three things that we do our best not to compromise:  family, health, and  happiness.  A nasty bug definitely visited our house this week, but we sent it packing.  Too bad it isn’t always that easy!
