DJ, glad you're back and just in time, too!:-)
polly - Darn I missed you!! But news from you is the best, whether I'm here at the time or not...
HOB - You're going over to the Valley??
The first trip I remember there as a little girl, my parents took us to visit a very old lady...her family had been friends of my grandparents...
Anyway she told my sister and me tales HER grandmother remembered...about Indians and massacres and the settling of the Valley nearly 200 hundred years before.
My sister and I were looking for ghosts among the forests for the rest of the trip...
