I had a great time, too, and certainly thank the **JC** crew for having us all into their home!! Didn’t get home til after 1AM, knew I’d have to get up early this morning (3-year-old don’t understand “weekends”), so I didn’t have the energy to post last night. But it was so great meeting everyone! ---

By the way, everyone, PLEASE feel free to use the “comments” area on each picture. It’s a lot more fun for people to look through the albums if they know what they’re looking at. ---

One of us, or both, or something, will be updating later. Much later. Tonight, tomorrow, 2043, something like that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with a bedzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ---

He slipped one in on you. Who brought the Vodka? Some small…fitful clean up efforts are underway. But I just bribed Lady Chance to stop by offering to take her to Bon Matins, the french bistro in Berryville, for some of their wonderful fruit tarts. Ow, my back. I mean…ow.
