We're......Back..............!
Sorry it's taken so long to respond, but it was a very hectic week trying to catch up, traveling with a 3 hour time change going and 2 hours coming back, and trying to catch our breaths inbetween.
I must say it was a tremendous surprise and shock to both of us. We knew there was going to be a get together amongst the kids, but do not know to what extent it turned out to be. Oh, me or my! Those of the Framily who dared to venture to Maine at the END of October, we salute you! You are amongst the bravest of the brave..... <G> And we were sincerely happy to see all of you make it there. That was the surprise of all surprises. How our kids could link up so many of you was beyond our imagination. They later told me how it all happened, but in the meantime, NONE of you, family, framily and those inbetween gave us the slightest hint.
My kids were so happy to meet you and they now know why we enjoy you all so much and are more comfortable knowing we have so many great friends wherever we go. There are not enough words to describe how Fred and I feel about all of you, and because there were just too many of you involved in this whole affair, we will just have to give an open heartfelt thank you to all of you! You are the greatest. We'll acknowledge the many cards when they arrive, since we had to ship back here. It may be a few more days. A great big hug to all!!! THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!!!
