At Terry's this morning

The Hoover Convertible that Greg sent down had arrived, so Michael and I set about getting it into tip top shape

Looks like a wonderful time and warm to match.Love the pics but please tell me what the temp has been. I am so sick of this cold winter, I booked a trip to Ft.Lauderdal the 1st week of March. Can't wait 1st vacation in 4 years. Gotta start taking more time off and meet some of you guys. Enjoy the warmth and the sun. Jon

What fun! It's so great to see pics of these visits. Thanks for posting them!

Aside: I have the same Corning rectangular lasagna/roasting pan/casserole as the one shown holding with scalloped potatoes in the oven. It's one of my favorite pans to use.

Love the pink Maytag.

And glad to see there were enough laptops to go around so everyone could keep up with the happenings at AW.ORG.

Terry

Can we have a pic of the DW that you hate???

Also, is your PANK Maytag your daily driver, or, do you have another washer?

Looks like you guys are having a BLAST.

Keep those wonderful pictures coming.......
