Thanks, it was fun!

It's SO humid there! The humidity ran around to 80% the entire time I was visiting. DC was filthy when I was there in 1991, especially the further you got from the touristy areas. This visit the city was

It's crazy how difficult it is to get together with people these days! Yes, it was almost a miracle we were able to keep the tradition going for that long. Some years were a challenge to scratch up the

It's definitely worth a visit, for the museums, if you're a student of history. There's a bit of a cold/dark/weird vibe downtown by all of the tourist attractions but as you venture out from there there's

Thank you Nancy! It's mind blowing how many years have passed. Planning and daydreaming are very close to the same thing and both can be a whole lot of fun. Those daydreams always have the possibility

Thanks for the update and tagging me! Lizelle will definitely be in my prayers. I wish I could get a copy of my new book to her.

That's so strange! I wonder if they serve corn grown further south?

Thanks, she really enjoys them.

Thanks! I'm really happy with how clean the design is.

Thank you for that idea, Zeke! I'll try that.

Most states in the U.S. have fairs around this time. Some counties do too. Believe it or not this is a light crowd for our fair! During crowded days you’re shoulder-to-shoulder with about 150k other people.

Great to know, thanks! This is what I'm aiming for. Roeland helped me with this:
