Hi Nancy!

Yes, that's true :)

Ah.. that must have been a little frustrating.  Where were the campgrounds?

You are very welcome!  and I'm very glad it was comfortable.. wish we had room
for a spare bedroom.. that would be nice :)  We could take out the other
kitchen (we've thought about it), but if we sell the house, putting that
apartment back together might be a big selling point.  Anyway, I'm glad the
accomdations worked out well for you ;)

I know what you mean!!  It's really great to meet the people you've been
chatting with, etc. over the years :)

Agree there, it was great! I'd love to do another one :)

Take care,
