As I reply to you Jan it is not quite 7 am and we are packing up for the return trip back to my home. Our reunion is winding down and by this time tomorrow will be over as the last blogger returns to her home country of Canada. It’s sad, but it’s been so wonderful!! Thanks for coming along with us.
