    Great photo but it reminds me of the old Sesame Street bit one of these things just doesn't belong. I look forward to the rest of the photos. Have a great weekend everyone.

    Wonderful to see all of you. Wish I could have made it, but like Barb I was so near and yet so far in Spokane. Work is a four letter word sometimes.
