Hey Ya All!

Oh for cute... thanks for sharing. Love yu to pieces. Got a kick out of you saying you were headed for the base swimming pool -last weather report I had from you was -61 w/wind chill factor! Have a great day!

Here's one from CA
"If you can go surfing in the morning, play snow in the Lagunas at noon, ride Dune Buggys in the afternoon & have dinner in another country, you might live in San Diego!"

Love, Mom & Garry
