Hi Nancy... Hi Larry... Things are starting to slow down at work so my wife Judith, my 3 year old son Kenny and I are taking advantage of the great weather and going MDing as often as we can. Kenny is pretty good with the long handled sand scoop. He trys to mimic Dad. As I write this, I wondered how your kids are doing? You know the four legged type.... I wanted to get another Boxer but my wife has informed me that will not happen. Take care.... Jack
