Thank you all so much!!! I wasn't ignoring anyone - I've been away from a computer the whole time. I had a great time visiting with friends and just being in our home we miss so much. There were a few bumps along the way (flying with a stomach bug and delays, lots of snow) but I enjoyed myself and am so happy we went. The red jeans did not make an appearance afterall, but my red velvet pants did. Will have to see if any pics are post worthy. Again, thanks for the wishes and kind words! Now off to see how my birthday twin Marianna celebrated her day . . .
