Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 Back home from my mini-vacation. Delightful time, great food, better company and conversation. I know Leanne says its not travel without a plane but I disagree.....doesn't even have to be far. Just drive a little distance to spend time with friends. Oh my.....just realized. Someone took a picture. I could be in trouble. No, I was behaving fine. I sure hope the Pennsylvania/NE or whatever group of you get together. You'll be amazed how nice it will be. > > > Going in a little bit to Arlington, TX. It's not far but it's still a > trip.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 Patti At the times I drove it was about an hour each way. At the wrong times, two hours. Had I been tired I might have stayed in Arlington or somewhere between. But, with all I did today I was still feeling quite alert and nothing along the way I wanted to do or to see tomorrow. Cebridge is about 5 1/2 hours southwest from me. I had to look it up, having never heard of it. > > > > > > > > > Going in a little bit to Arlington, TX. It's not far but it's > still a > > > trip.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 Peggy Everyone is someone's daughter.....but, you're way off track. The two ladies were in no way related. In fact, they'd never met before today. > > Oh so the pretty daughter came along huh?? lol > > > Love & Prayers, Peggy > Florida, IPF/UIP 2004 > > " I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet, > when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.
