Sorry to have bailed-out without any word! I went away w/ my family for the weekend- kinda on short-notice. Actually, not really on short-notice... it just worked out that my last day or 2 before we left was too hectic for me to find much log-in time!
We enjoyed a 3 hour trip north to a little river town where we enjoyed festive things like camping, flea-marketing, shopping at outlet malls and such. The weather was mild, the river, gentle, and our camp-site fantastic! Last big weekend away before the niece & nephew start their big new school-year... so a great time was had by all!
Thanks for your concern- I missed you all too! winks- k.

Speaking of which... y'know the only thing missing from "The Wizard of Oz" was a good food scene! What's up with that? Why couldn't they have slipped a good home cooking scene from Aunt Em's kitchen- or some bountiful buffet table with hundreds of yummy delectables alongside the yellow brick road?
(side note: here in our l'il Bloomington, Illinois is one of my all-time fav historic cemeteries... "Evergreen Park" I know, I know- some folks think cemeteries is morbid- but I dig them! Anyway... among our famous graves here like VP Adlai Stevenson and his grandson- IL.Gov./Senator Adlai Stevenson, and their descendent M*A*S*H star McLean Stevenson, Lincoln's Supreme Court Justice David Davis and others- buried here is also a tiny l'il girl named Dorothy Gale- grand-niece of "Wizard of Oz" author Frank Baum... this l'il Dorothy was Baum's inspiration for his book's Dorothy character! There's a neat yellow brick road memorial-marker at her grave-site...)
