Oh noooooooo, I answered last night, must have thought the Preview was the final post and closed it out.
Let's see - I got the first 4, had no answer for 65, missed 66, got 67, then missed all the rest.
Have a good trip, Mamie. I will check for photos on Facebook. We are now in South Texas for the next four months.
