I truly thought I would be able to attend this year .... the last hurdle was to much ... Dave's lab puppy that he sprung on me in late July ... I'm still trying to housebreak .... no willing sitter

It's alittle like Noah's Ark around here.

I would love to be there to meet you as Dave has spoken so highly of you & I have enjoyed your posts. I hope that you & your wife enjoy & safe travels back home.
Thank you,
Joni AKA Mrs. Mongo
