Hi Linda, How are you doing? I have been so busy. Lots of company. First I had my niece here, then dropped my son off at camp, then my niece went home and my parents came. Then pick the son up from camp. And so on. The short of it is, I have not had time to read all of this wonderful stuff. So as soon as I have a spare minute, I am going to go through it. Guess what? My husband fences (the sport), and next year the championships are in South Carolina. So guess what I am going to do while he is fencing. We are going to take our vacation there, and I want to do a bunch of research there and NC. So start making a list of things we want, and I will get them. It will be next June/July. Talk to you later.
