Hi there!
I just received your latest Class of 61 photos and I thank you. I'd like to attend one sometime and will try really, really hard to do so. Of course, if it is held anywhere near a Wine Depot/Wine Bar I'll have to take a taxi home! lol. Speaking of wine........I'm in the French Riviera right now and I think I may have tole you I am buying another "abode" there and it is an experiment really. I lived here years ago and decided that I might like to return so I am testing the waters with an apartment to see if I want to move completely. If I do I will replace the farmhouse in Portugal with one in Provence or similar.

I guess it is just simply time to move on. I mean, people! 10 years in Portugal is enough isn't it? 10 years in one place and I have certainly "done" the place and it is time to do something new, isn't it? loooool. I'll be returning to Norway in another 10 days and that project is due to wind up near November 1st. I really like Norway and if it was not for the extortionate cost of everything and the weather I could easily live there. I recently went on a 50 mile hike through the mountains! Can you believe that? Yes, I am still able to do such things and I didn't pass out or need ambulance evacutation! Still I am shocked sometimes about why I even did it. But I did. Anyway, thanks for all the work you are doing and for being such good friends to all of us from Albany. I will try to attach a photo of Stephani and I this past August in Portugal one night when we went to a Simply Red concert. It was fun. [and see....I can get a tan! lol]
Talk another time........
