Solbergian mudhole on the starboard bow, Captain!
Looking forward to a great reunion weekend at NJFEST but it looks like summer as usual in the Garden State. Seems like every year at Howiefest is either HazyHotHumid or slogging through the muck left from a week of heavy rain.

I only Shelley could be there for the fun. Don't worry, "mom", we will take plenty of video during the event.

Tell Eiko Hi also.
I had a great time last weekend. I'm glad I got to see you, Jan and Eiko again. I didn't miss Bonnie so much. She was so happy when we got home.
Keith is on his way to Kentucky. He gets back Sunday night and we had to repack his van and deliver it on Monday night so Bj can leave Tuesday.
We fly out on Thursday.
See you next week.
Debbie
