Mappy - hehehe! Take your vacation!!!!
Pammmm! :0) I'm gonna be in the BBDish chat room on the feeds, hopefully goofing around with lots of dishers. :)
Thanks for these updates! For the first time in years I have not signed up early for the feeds. If I find out it's all newbies then I'm in. I'm also fine with all veterans except for one that seems to keep appearing in one form or another. Hope to spend another summer here!
Hoping this is a wonderful summer!
