I hope so, too.Maybe half-way between Bristol, NH and Bedford Ma...!
Surely that couldn't be Manchester/Londonderry/ Concord area, could

Actually we are not exactly sure where we may choose to hang out between

Thanks to all of you for your kind words! It's always nice to be
recognized, even in the smallest of ways.
Now, I'll be waiting to hear what all of *you* receive at your fairs!
