Thank goodness they let us know quickly, I think they know me quite well by now, lol. Or maybe my e mailing at 8am this morning was a wee giddyup, who cares.
Pete is off on a golfing weekend with his buddies, now he can REALLY enjoy it.
My wish is for each and every one of you who are not quite this far along in your journey to experience the same elation we are feeling now.
Thanks again Guys.
