Hmmmm.......sounds like you have been up to something over there.....we, on the other hand, get to have fun with Grandma Al and Grandma Dana carrying on about hospital masks while on airplanes. Such as life.
hey - those hookla pipes have been found to have major disease in those - it was in the newspapers.
I sure wish I was with you - you have such a great way of describing your adventures!
Grandma Dana
