Going to Omaha tomorrow - SPA day at Pemberleys ...and not a day too soon! Husband John to work on sister Gail's computer (that won't be pretty), then he and daughter Amy are off to the movies (mama - me - not invited - I talk too much), Gail and I get to chill. Wish sister Judy could join us.

All good wishes,
Nancy
