Thank you so very much for your kindness. I had fun....and it was great to learn to do new things! DS took all the cookies with him so I will have to bake again! Those kids really eat when they are on the road!

He will be back in the middle of the night tonight. I am eager to learn how he did in competion when he gets back.
I am leaving after lunch today to take other DS to a town 2 hours from here so we can get info on him being an exchange student next year. We will stay the night and come back Sun evening. Might as well make a weekend of it...
Plus, my DD and grandson live in that town so we can see them a bit, too.
Now that I think about it, youngest DS is the same age as bluepinkmonkey!
I'll take you up on that tour, thanks! I will check on getting DSL next week when I get back. I have just had it with dial-up....as I know you understand!
