Fantastic! I am so glad you had such a great trip. When you mentioned "memories" it reminded me that at times when asked what I "did" I would sometimes say I am a "Memory Maker". I was married in 1970 and once we began having children and the fact that we were a Military family (USMC)and moved quite a bit it made it useless for me to try to work. Actually I was fortunate to be able to stay home with my four children and we did move 13 times in 20 years. So whenever I had to fill out a form that asked what I did I would try to come up with some "original" answers. So sometimes I was a Domestic engineer, or Domestic goddess...however I felt that day. I think I had a few others but can't remember them right now! Can you tell I was pretty sensitive about my job title. :) Hope you had a wonderful Easter! Blessings and Shalom Trudy P.S. Did you send a picture?? I could not get it to open?
