Fantastic photos as always. Sure is good to hear from you. Several people have been conspicuously absent in the last few months, and it sure is a lot lonelier place around here without you.

 

Sounds like you had a wonderful time and I know everyone will enjoy looking at all the great pics.

 

With love,
