Well, this Getaway was a treasure and, like Rita, I'm still glowing. Wonderful music, and a great sense of fellowship with a whole bunch of people I now consider friends. Thanks for joining us, fellow Mudcatters, and for making what has always been a special weekend even more special and memorable. My song (by Alan Bell of England) from the Saturday concert says it all:

When first we met, we were total strangers,
We didn't know that we could be friends,
How soon we came to love each other,
Now I know we will meet again.

Chorus:
So here's to you, and our time together,
I'll share with you now a parting glass,
And bid adieu, with a smile and laughter,
Our time apart will be sure to pass.

We talked of dreams, and the good tomorrows
Of yesterdays, with their dark despair.
We've had our share of joys and sorrows,
And now we part as friends who care.

A long, long road now winds before me,
And fate may take me where it will,
Through deep valleys, and over mountains,
I'll not forget. I'll remember you still.

And speaking of that long, long, road... I second Jennifer's request for all you visitors from far away to check in and let us know you're safe home. Kath (who is still smiling and singing on Tuesday)
