Oh, dear, I'm getting it from all sides now! :-) Well, I AM a southern belle transplanted up north, but I didn't mean that I would be the one that would dissolve in the rain. I'll be working in the Scottish Society tent whatever the day brings. I just don't want Mindy driving for hours to get here and slop around in her "gum boots" all day. BTW, Mike, what are "gum boots" anyway? Charlene Kemp In a message dated 8/15/2011 10:30:10 P.M.
