It isn't looking good, Veg. We drove over to Inverness on the coast today. Made a long day out of it. But we got to see our high school choir director and his son. Had a great visit. We leave Saturday to return home and we have some electrical work to do here at Mick's place before we get away. I will mail you the disk that I made for you. |

I understand Randy...Only so many hours in a day......Hope you day was a good one at the coast and were able to catch up with your friends...Don't worry about the disk...when you have the time to get to it is great...Are you enjoying this weather? It is wonderful...Safe trip home to you if we don't see ya..

I have been enjoying the weather. It's been storming up at home. We will tackle some more electrical work today and I think we can get it finished before I have to leave tomorrow. It will be good to be back home though. I have to get back onto my salsa making. |
