This summer has been a re-awakening for me to social life. Besides being mudcat addicted online, I am meeting more and more 'catters in person.

Musicman in Vancouver BC was a gracious host to Jack and me for a week. We enjoyed ourselves very much, as well as Musicman's generous hospitality.

We said our farewells to Easy Rider and his wife this morning as they departed for sightseeing and other vacation activities. We enjoyed their visit very much and are amazed at how well our muddy encounters went this summer.

We have both stayed with someone and hosted someone whom we knew only from online and both times we were happy to find we have new friends we want to stay in touch with. I am looking forward to meeting more muddy friends, may it never end! Love you guys,

Margarita
