Cindy, thank you (and everyone here) so much! I just had to check the forum one more time in case there's someone else I may meet up with next week.

Yes, it's finally our turn. Thank you God!!

Don't know if I'll be on the computer this trip but the good wishes and joy so very many of you have expressed will carry us.

Damaris & family
