Hi Margaret. I guess you are on your way by now. Yes, I heard all about that dry spell in Fla. So, that 1 inch of rain in Tampa and around the Orlando area in the past week must have been very welcome. I guess you did get some rain on the East Coast down there?

Talk to you when you get back.

Sonny
