Brenda H has them, they thoroughly enjoyed the symposium but they worked too hard. I must say they have picked up A LOT of extra baggage since they visited me a year ago! Their travel trunk is approaching the size of a steamer trunk! And soon they will need a new travel diary.

You'll be pleased to know, Tiptoe was very well behaved and didn't get anywhere near a martini of any flavor. We think Tex has been a good influence on her.

I think they will want to stop enroute to their next visit to see Sheila - they were so looking forward to seeing her in SA but she was not able to make it. If they are anything like me, they will need a good long rest to recover from all the hard work at the symposium!
