It should be on the radar, especially for
someone who is a potential host.

We'll have to talk things over. If we were to host, we could use the
camper as a guest room for a couple of people but others would need to
get a motel room.

Hi Michael,

smaller schools out there.

like > in the 70s would have made it unacceptable to my parents. They

too late now, I'm done going to school. Sort of wish I had checked it
out back in the day but.................

about academics for us. I think my choice of major and minors were a

bit > disconcerting for them but they accepted it, eventually.

That kind of approval, the swallowing of
misgivings, is among the most honorable.

Especially when they saw where the art was taking me. Didn't go the
drawing and painting route (except for one class) but have done well
with needle and thread.

It's hard to cruise thru something like a voice major when you have a
good, but not great voice. Also hard to cruise thru academics when you
have to work hard for decent grades.

Does she carry snacks in oe of the bags? I think the closest thing to
food I carry is usually sugar free breath mints. (G)

I'm sure we'd all work something out.

Looks good--I'm sure we could use flour tortilla strips instead of corn,
if we didn't leave them out altogether.
