Good for you. <br /><br />I like to take excursions in the summertime...day trips, mainly. <br /><br />Went to the top of a mountain yesterday....it was very foggy and I felt like I was in the twilight zone! Ha!<br /><br />Tomorrow, lunch with a friend and antiquing. <br /><br />And so the summer goes. It's great. Hope yours is super, too.
