Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Colleen, I must tell you I am feeling a tad bit jealous. A vacation...boy does that sound nice. I hope that you enjoy yourself and I can't wait to hear all about it when you return. Take plenty of pictures to share. Thanks for your encouragement and you are the best Colleen. Take care.
