Just got a call from Bean Town too - my little niece is bored. You know how it is when you are eleven and summer is hot.......and your friends are all away.

AWWWWW, I can just hear it now "Auntie Gini, how many days will it be til you arrive?? Please, please, can't you come over now??"

I remember when my nieces were that small. Every time I visited, they each has something for me. A bracelet, a drawing, or some small trinket that they bought for me. I still have them all and treasure them to this day. Gee, this brings a tear to my eye.

Debbie, thanks for your explanation. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Julie, nice to see you in dry pants for a change. (Gee, will you ever live it down??)

I'm just going to say a DONE! for everyone else...work is busy this morning. Will check back this afternoon.

Laurie, thanks for checking in Sis and I'll expect an email when you return home and get settled.
