  5. Great to see you and Donna out with Dennis and Donna and having a good time. Sam, just be careful and do not step on Donna's foot - that would be the end of you, I think!

    Looks like Riggs is going to enjoy his holiday!

  11. Glad to read your update.

    Many years ago we bought one of those Cracker Barrel rockers. We found they are just fine for sitting in while waiting for your table to be ready.

    But in actuality, they are really uncomfortable. We put ours out in our 3 season room where it got little use.

    Hoping the weather remains fair and pleasant for the rest of your trip.
