Hi, Dixie! I was SO disappointed I couldn't be there! Last February I bought a "vacation" condo in Illinois where my family lives. It's undergoing extensive remodeling. My contractor told me at that time I'd have to come up from Florida in August to approve his work and to schedule some more. Since I'm not his only client, I had to dance to his schedule.

So, here I am in the Chicago burbs, working my fanny off in my essentially barren digs. At least I have the essentials, a bed, table, chair, computer and an ash tray, hah! The fun part will be the furnishing and selecting all those nice little artsy decorating items!

However, I had fun being "FRiva Diva" and doing all the "color" blurbs on the Vegas threads. Soon, I hope to put on my "Bahama Mama" hat for the potential spring Freeper conference cruise. NOTHING will stop me from this event. Hope to see you and some of the SC stalwarts on board!

At least you have the essentials, It's going to be fun shopping! That's my favorite part - I can always find what I want as long as I have no money, but give me the cash and I can't find a thing!!!!!
