Patsy, Thanks for this. We just stayed in my cousin's Kilbrogan House last summer (that is it at top of kilbrogan wordpress site), and I must email her right away. We had terrible flooding in Atlanta here also in September but like Bandon only down by rivers and creeks. Elizabeth Atlanta, GA, USA ps. Would people remember to delete LONG portions of previous messages when they reply because it makes those of us with Digest mode have a LOT to scroll through.
