When are you doing Stratford? I REALLY want to go this year, just not sure when.

First weekend in August - Mo and I start driving on the 3rd, arrive, on the 4, 5, 6, drive back the 7th. Would love to see you!

Pssst! Cross off MDS&W--you went to that already. :-)

I did, didn't I? VERY busy month! (Apparently you & the boys were there on the same day. Would have liked to say "hi" but the way the crowds are...)

We could have even crossed paths at Linganore afterwards, but hey, timing! We didn't have it.

Wow...

I am in awe. You are awesome!

It's been a hell of a month to live through, but in the end, worth it!

That's really a spectacular amount of progress!
