We'll be there... somehow, someway... count on it :-) Even if we tow our RV
and can't take the truck off road... we'll still be there. We talked about
it a lot lately and want to come out to visit my mom and Jon anyway. So now
it might look like our big annual vacation may change from the Christmas in
Salt Lake to the summer in Forestville and Toronto. I just can't let go of
family and friends. And as Tom has just said, the DML'ers are just that...
FAMILY :-)
