Love Your Blog Hi Kat, I have enjoyed your blog from the very first time that I read it. I remember reading it for the first time late at night when you had a lot of catch-up entries. I stayed up to the wee hours because I couldn't stop reading it. I have been running the WNC C.A.T.S. group and we were just talking about you at our last meeting. I was telling them how much I was enjoying your blog and asked if anyone else was getting it. We reminisced about our CATS meeting at your house where some of us met you for the first time. We also talked about how you mentioned that some of your dishes and serving pieces you used that day belonged to your mother and how that made you think about her. A lovely thought. Since I grew up and went to school on Long Island I also enjoyed reading about your last reunion there. (I lived in Sea Cliff and went to North Shore High School in Glen Head). You sound like you are really having a great time and your stories make me laugh. Even when you're going through some tough times you sound like you don't let it get you down. ...love the occasional "growl" and "groan" - I feel your pain :) You keep writing and I'll keep reading! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Hi MC. Yes, I remember that you are running CATS this year. I am no longer a member of WNC. I decided that I travel too much and was not taking advantage of the opportunities any longer. I miss attending CATS!!!. Please tell everyone I said hi.
I am humbled by the number of people, almost 100 per blog, that are reading it! I enjoy writing about the interesting things I see and people I meet. I have a few good stories for today.
I can't believe you remembered that tidbit about my relatives on my table. I served 19 for Christmas Eve, and added a new relative to the table setting, my daughters new mother in law. She no longer wanted an old set of Christmas dishes, my daughter hated them, so I now have them. My daughter was surprised how good they looked and I told her she couldn't have them back. I always wanted Christmas dishes!!!
I had forgotten you were a LI girl. It was very strange going back. I know I could never live there again. I am busy planning what I call a Mini FL reunion for MHS64. Attendance will be limited, lots of excuses why people can't come, but we will have fun anyway. Thanks for the nice comments.

Jealous Your trip sounds wonderful! I love following your adventures as the bring back such wonderful memories of the trip cross country that my husband and I took with our two kids. We ended up spending the night in a fenced yard of an RV Repair Shop. Keep writing us as I love hearing about your adventures! Safe Travels Barbara Wolk
Bug Bites I feel your pain. On my first RV trip with Darrell, I stepped on an ant hill and literally got ants in my pants. They bit me around the ankles and up by legs to me knees. Not a happy camper that night! I am giving it another try in February when we go to Fort Lauderdale to visit my Chicago friends who are vacationing there. Hope to take a few extra days on the return and go through some of the Panhandle. Enjoy Disney.
Hi Great pics, hope you enjoyed the warmer weather, it was a rough winter weatherwise here in NC. We are all looking forward to spring........if it ever decides to come.
See you when you get back, Sam
glad to see Hi Kat,
So nice to see you enjoying yourself!!! Wow ...great pictures. Next year we're all following you...enough of this cold stuff!
See you soon.
Welcome to WY You drove right through my home town, Evanston, WY. Southern Wyoming isn't much to look at, but it gets you to where you are going. If you drive through Missouri this weekend, give a wave as I will be there. If you like Mark Twain, stop in Hannibal, MO.
Hannibal I never thought of Hannibal! Thanks for the suggestion. Yup, sure did pass thru Evanston, first town in WY. What a beautiful state. I have already seen the NW part of the state, Yellowstone, etc, but I sure did love the southern part as well
Awesome Lovin the blog Kat! The pictures are beautiful and it sound like you have met some great "folks"! You might very well be the female Charles Kuralt! (Remember him?) I loved his voice and watching "On the Road".
Well, I wanted to congratulate you on the upcoming wedding. I know it will be fabulous, and I look forward to seeing all the great pictures.
Enjoy yourself!
