It'ls still Easter Monday here, public holiday, back to work tomorrow. <br /><br />Thanks for your kind words and encouragement to Melissa.

We've had so much to do - can't count the number of visits to Walmart we made yesterday and today, and then had to get set up here at the campground -so much to learn!!! And I drove the RV for the 1st time today - OMG!!! Well, I lived to tell about it. Thank you Denise for hosting me. We've only just settled in now at the campground for a few days and this is the first time I've had to fire up the computer. I'll be updating on my blog - hopefully tomorrow if we have good Wifi, with pictures.
