I appreciate it Becky. But don't go getting any speeding tickets! LOL I just really need to take the time off and go up to Ripley. I'm finding interresting things every day about the Patterson's of Ripley. I would really like to go up there and see the hold homestead and visit gravesites and things like that. I'm within a days drive and could take off on like a Thursday or something so I'd have two good days to do whatever I wanted to do.
