LOL, Susan...it's been the Purple Age all of my adult life, but not for my furnishings! I like the idea of leaving a small patch, though!

Sandy, good! Glad they got there so quickly and that you are enjoying them. Sorry I've not answered back by email with the radical notion. Still *cookin'* and YES! Plan that trip now, eh?!

Amergin...aren't you going South?**BG**

Sorcha, not sure, probably the last weekend of the month, but it will depend on when my sister and Rog can coordinate their work schedules. I'll give you a call or email as soon as I know, okay?

Thanks everyone!
