Bump. We spent the weekend in Florida and have just returned. I’m not going to promise a spotless house, but there won’t be any monkey poo anywhere. Who’s coming? ---

Well, like **twickster** , I was kinda looking forward to the monkey poo. But I’ll be there anyway. Hubby, my 14-year-old daughter and my five-year-old daughter will be with me. ---

A very slight change in plans… we’re going to start at 1:00 pm rather than two, as SOMEONE (_coughFoxtrotcough_) can’t keep his dates straight and has another engagement he can’t break that evening. ---
