And then some!
It was delicious and I, of course, ate too much.
I said, "Diabetes be damned!", and chomped on those dumplings almost non-stop...

Dang! That's my Mom's. I should have just walked it home!!
I would be more than glad to reimburse postage... ?
(maybe one of those mail shops so you don't have to do any packaging?)

I am home (power pedestal issues at my site).

What a great bunch of women...I enjoyed meeting you all and was looking forward to more tick-infested walks, weather permitting (which was doubtful).

Be safe going home and see you down the road.

Weather is terrible today, thunderstorms predicted all day and there is a loud one going on right now. I told Cheryl to go to the Lodge, or if time come here, she is getting organized to leave tomorrow. I don't think any of the power pedestals were safe. The ongoing budget standoff in Illinois is far reaching but even before that $$ to state parks were down. Thank you for the egg cooker it is so cute! Haven't tried it out yet though.
I enjoyed what time I was able to spend with you all and happy that Cheryl and Roberta came to my yoga class yesterday. Sorry I missed meeting Eileen.

I came home one day early or I would have needed a raft to leave the park. Just a couple more pics from the gtg. Sorry they are a little big, but resizing them one time took forever.
