Hi Knitwit mom! It was great meeting everyone at the gathering and we are so
glad you are looking for our boxes!! We get quite an immature little thrill
whenever we check our logbooks or get an email! I guess our lives are
pretty dull -- but we LOVE it!

I am behind on Helping Hands. Thanks for the nudge. I intend to select
more charities, starting with May (whoops -- a little late, but, better late
than ever). As soon as school and its gazillion obligations are done (only
f---i----v-----e more days!) I will go through our charity file and choose
the new ones.

I hope you enjoy the view when you go. It is beautiful. It really isn't
that far a walk (we made it with our kids and they "tire" pretty easily).
If you are concerned about the length -- there is a short cut...

Thanks and have fun! BeMa

P.S. The only problem we had with Candy Cane city was that we missed the
dirt trail after the paved trail. We were thusly walking on the other side
of the trees. We realized our mistake and crossed over. Therefore, we
didn't get to see the cool "eyes" and all until the way back. It was a fun
box to find and we appreciated the log to sit on and stamp in!

To anyone who needs help on Candy Cane city -- we will gladly offer to help
in exchange for news on Glencaryln dog park! Has anyone ever found this one
since the Fall? I believe meandering Mermaid went looking for it and
couldn't find it recently. It's a really cute stamp (saw it in Mary's book)
and we would love to find it. I still contend that those mysterious newbies
are using it at their house....
