OntheroadagainThe picture thing kind of sucks! Boy you are covering a lot of ground!! It was a beautiful day here today. Spent most of it outside putting things away for winter....it was great except air quality sucked as Digger's people burn a wood fireplace! So I have a really sore throat tonight from breathing in all that freaking smoke!!! Gonna be a great winter if I cannot open windows to get fresh air. I may regret staying here for the winter after all!!
