Wow! Thanks everyone!!! Hogleg talked with Scovie last night and told me about this thread. Our plans to go to New Orleans got nixed because this has been a crazy busy year, so we just spent the weekend in Leavenworth (WA) a tourist town not too far away, and ate food, drank drinks, did some shopping and lots of people watching, (people from the city are amusing LOL). Our hotel room had a jacuzzi tub and a fireplace with a view looking down on the town square. A very much needed relaxing weekend! Thank you all for the Birthday wishes! Turning 50 is a big one!
