New Look and questions answered

New Look:

I changed the look of the blog -I realized the other one was a killer on the eyes with the dots.  Hopefully this "new look" will be easier to read. Stay tuned - it could change again.

Questions Answered:

There have been a few questions regarding the outcome of items in previous posts.  Here are some of the answers to those questions:

*Did the 18X2 inch piece of glass make it home safely?  Yes I am glad to report that the piece of glass made it home all in one piece.  It was even in the checked baggage.  I inquired with K what her plans were for the glass - she said she was thinking we cold break it into small pieces for a mosaic stepping stone!!

*Did A have any further problems in the saltwater? The next time we had the opportunity to go swimming - I covered her with a mixture of vaseline and sunscreen.  She did fine.  Then when we went to Brackley Beach - she had another breakout at the very end - just on her neck it turned all red.  We speculate that each time she may have somehow had a run in with a jelly fish or seaweed that had jelly fish remains in it.

*What kind of gas mileage did the XTerra get?  We never calculated it - it would have been depressing. As we would speed up going uphill, you could almost watch the gas gauge go to empty!
