And I guess if the Lord had thought I needed to see the Railway Museum this year, He would've thrown those gates open faster than I can shout, "Hallelujiah!" :)<br /><br />I'm still moaning because y'all got to see Colonial Williamsburg - not once, but twice in the last couple years.

Now I go on them at other times, too and often take JJ with me, like our foray into Fort Walsh and Calgary Heritage Park last summer.<br /><br />It's like going to see Theatre on the Hoof this weekend.

I could've stopped in for a coffee. :D<br /><br />I probably won't head up that way again until next spring as I'm headed to LA at the end of July, Ontario the end of Aug, and Dallas in Sept.

I have so many giveaways I was supposed to send to readers of my Author Memories blog, but between the mucky roads and writing deadlines couldn't make it. I was going to go this week, but a super nice Inky is sending me a copy of her latest book, so I'll wait on that and head down next week.

How cool is that? Especially since he calls you the Writer. Perhaps the next time you see him, you'll be the PUBBED writer *heh*.<br /><br />Thanks for DebHnoreply@blogger.com
