You are lucky to have had such neat grandparents.<BR/><BR/>(oh, and the chips-in-the-dryer made me spit out some of my omelette)Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470872330925505480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511897216767402899.post-40588959339358618382008-01-09T09:02:00.000-06:002008-01-09T09:02:00.000-06:00Sheila: No, but I wish I had. :)Donna: Wow, 2000...Sheila: No, but I wish I had. :)<BR/><BR/>Donna: Wow, 2000 miles away?
