Nancy Steav & Bill, Thanks for including me on your blog. I always enjoy seeing and hearing about your excursions! Your upcoming trip sounds fantastic! Keep me posted.

Stacey Awesome ! I am sure you will be writing a thank-you to Intrepid Travel and Ghandi. I'm so glad you had such a marvelous time. Snowboarding in the desert..cool. I hope you did better than the one time I tried it in my backyard...If I were with you, I would have probably eaten sand....yeah, that bad. Look forward to the pics.

Tillie Wow...You certainly know how to travel and how to get in on the home town taste. Looking forward to more pics....

Nancy On the Amazon???? Don't they have big critters with big teeth there?????? Can't wait to see all your pictures. Have had much fun following you around Egypt!

johnfenyar And you missed 2 blizzards! So much for global warming! See ya later this week (if you don't need a vavcation from your vacation!)

kitty HI guys, can't wait to see the photos and hear all about the stuff you haven't written about. sounds like a GREAT Adventure!

Cate We are making amazing progress recovering from the fire. Everyone from MASG has pitched in. (Everyone scoured their attics to replace your beloved junk so you should feel right at home in the new choir room.) Hope you like the way LA has reconfigured the organ; she was very creative in answering some of the questions.)

LA Kenya and Djimah (and I, of course) want to let you know that they miss you tons, but are doing well, and are happy! See you in a few days!

Kitty Say all, have you run into Amelia yet??? Just teasing, it sounds great! I am soooo envious!

Kelly M I'm so glad you are having such a great adventure. We can't wait to hear your stories and see your pictures. Be Safe. Love Kelly, Jackie, and Ty

Linda Howard Glad you are feeling better Steav, you are an amazing story teller! I hope you took pictures of Bill dancing...can't wait to see them!!! Love you lots, Linda

Ann L. The trip sounds fantabulous!!!! Can't wait to see the pix online. Continue to have a wonderful experience and stay safe. I'm back home and have access to my computer - YAY!!!! (Feeling better, too, although chemo starts Wed.) Love, Ann

Andrea I've been so out of the loop I can't find the door back in so I've missed some of this trip. Glad you're feeling better, I'm not

Cate So glad you are all there and having a wonderful time. So blue not to be with you...The blog and your emails are some compensation. Eager to see your pictures. Once you are back and rested we MUST have a story-telling. There will be hordes of fascinated listeners. hugs!

Sue Hitselberger Sounds like you are having "moocho" good times in the land of the Pharaohs! All is well here. After all, it was just a teensy fire. The organ should be good as new when you return. We were able to save the hole puncher, one dry-erase marker (I think it's dried up though), and the bunny ears (minus on ear, so I guess it's called bunny ear now) from the choir room. Good news tho - Fr. O says that the hole is way too big to cover with a tarp (plus it has caused confusion for some parishoners who think it is our new drive-thru confessional) so you will be getting that window for your office real soon! Don't worry, we got it under control in the Land of the Free (and home of The Whopper.) Sue Hits
