Hey anybody out there still with me...I am typing this on the actual site, something I never do, as usually write the story and then think about it a day...however, am out of time here...this is to let you know I am just this minute leaving for nine days on The Big Island with Peter and Cindy and family, will return April 6th. Last night I was going to post a letter I received, but simply ran out of steam at two am and could not get in here to turn this thing on. I am taking it with me, and if I find a computer - between beach sessions and watching the volcano erupt! oh dear - I will post it.

My plan was to, by this time, personally reply to everybody who has posted on this site. We see that has not happened yet. You cannot, well - maybe you can - imagine how appreciated you are and how much I love your entries and notes.

My ride to the airport has just arrived, so, bye for now.

Much love, Bonnie and the Cook Family
