Hi Pat... I know this is OT but you brought back memories of my Father making a copy of a bungalow I was born in...and it was under our Christmas Tree for many years .... What a gift you have !
As for Antonio... he does quite well with the English language... and I know we can all do this cut & paste & use Freetranslation.com....plus others that are on the Internet, but that is for "when push comes to shove"... and takes the enjoyment out of regular bulletin board postings.
As for "adventure"... I get plenty of it... without leaving home!! I'm with you on that! Char
