I'm surprised you remember that after all this time, Sandy. <G> That was
six years ago! LOL! But now I'm really careful to check the cab before
getting out. ;)

Thanks for giving us the scoop on your time in Houston Sandy. Sounds
very inspiring--both with the quilting, and meeting up with quilting
buddies from the lists.
Enjoy your DGSs. But I do know what you mean about having children
being for younger women. When my little cousins come to visit, ages 3-9
yrs, I wish I had just a 10th of their energy!
Best regards,
Michelle in Nevada

What a great trip you had!
Any chance that Wendy will pop back in here? I do miss reading her
posts.

I miss her, too, but I doubt that she'll pop in -- or at least not very
often. She's pretty busy with the WOW group these days. :S
