Good morning all.  Thought I would pop in for a quick one and then have to get out and run errands.  Maria, I am so glad you made it home safely.  You were certainly missed here.  I am so sorry about your dog.  My best friend&#39;s dog went blind but after bumping into things for a week or so, she finally acclimated and did well for several more years.  She was about 13 when she lost her sight and I think it was 3 yrs. or so before she passed on.  Sounds like you need a rest after that vacation.  Still no definte word on NYC - hope Greg finds out today as if we go, it will be next week.  Mebert, I don&#39;t drink coffee, but would love to meet up with you if it works out - will keep you posted.  Jackie, we are now planning our RV trek to Oregon in August.  It was going to be the end of June but our cruising partner&#39;s are going to come spend a week with us while he is on vacation and he has to take his June 30-July15th (they live in TX).  Do you have any idea where you and Tony will be then?  Didn&#39;t know if we could cross paths then or not.  I know you are heading to (eventually) Canada and Alaska but didn&#39;t know how long you planned on being there.  All the new carpeting is in.  We did have a slight language barrier, as the crew they sent was all hispanic and I do not speak any spanish, but one spoke english fairly well - there were just a few times I did not understand what he was saying so I would just nod my head yes - that could have been dangerous, couldn&#39;t it???  Anyway, they did an excellent job and I have never in my life seen anyone work that hard.   They were here for almost 10 hrs., and in that time, they sat down for about 20 mins. around 2:00 and ate a sandwich and that was the only break they took all day.  I was given a questionnaire to fill out about the service and I am going to drop it by the carpet store today instead of mailing it to make sure it gets into the hands of the manager.  I think they really deserve some kudos.  The hardwood flooring guy came late, took 2 hr. lunches and a break every hr. or so, but not these guys.   Well, guess my plan to post a quick note, failed, didn&#39;t it?  Okay, gonna&#39; run - have the best day possible guys.  I just love coming here to catch up with all of my crazy friends...
