  1. C-Myste says:

    I’m having trouble thinking of 8 of each. Will work on it more after finishing house cleaning for visit of MIL.

    And good luck tagging kennelhelp. Of course he’s on his way to California (and back tomorrow) to pick up said MIL.

    Have much wine in stock which I can tell will be needed this week.

  2. “Needless Markup” — hahahahaha!

    I will let Dennis know he’s been tagged … meanwhile, Tony’s blog appears to have disappeared again! 😮

  3. Kathleen says:

    It’s nice to know that I’m not the only blogger over 60. The Central Oregon coast is beautiful. We have a friend who lives near Newport; we visit as often as possible.
