Noel, Congratulations to you and Fiona on winning the
square dance (we asked Pete to pass our congrats on
but, not being sure he did, we want you to hear it
directly from us --I speak on behalf of all of us
stay-at-homes).
How awful to have to sit on the steps. That's riding
sideways, not even frontways. How did your back feel
after that? And how did Fiona fit on the steps? As I
picture them, bus steps aren't very wide. What kind of
dog is she? (besides being wonderful)
Cindy
