Maw, glad that you and Paw are okay. For some reason I keep thinking that you live in Buffalo, MO Hopefully we will get a meet and greet going this summer.

Maw, heard that you had some nasty storms in your area last night and I was checking in to see if you made it through ok. Miss you, hugs.

Good morning Maw! Looking forward to seeing you, Paw, Jacquie and Leon this weekend! It has been way too long! See you soon! Hugs!

When do we book???!! What a riot! Love it!!

Nice one Jean!

We have been there several times and it is not one of our favorite ports. We thought that it was dirty and there was not much to do. This was our impression.

Wonderful news! So glad that Maw is back home with Paw! Keep up the good work Maw, hugs!

Maybe one of these days I will get up there to an Atlantic City Meet......Hope everyone has a wonderful time!
