Good to meet you, Don.  Nice picture and thanks for sharing.  My husband 
and I are seriously wondering and speculating about the merits of 
building an addition to our house about now.  It's 90-95% done but as 
most building projects go, we've been taking one step forwards and one 
back for the last two months and are beginning to wonder why we didn't 
buy an RV instead?  Many times throughout our married life, usually when 
one or both of us has been particularly frazzled by jobs or with our 
lives in general, we've gone to check out RV's.  We have pictures of our 
oldest son (he'll be 15 in March) taken when he was 2, 4, 7, and 10 in 
the upper bunk of an RV--one in a lot somewhere--not ours.  I think 
we're overdue for another picture.  We still threaten, on a bad day, to 
sell the farm and buy an RV and go.  Hubby tells me he's ready when I am 
and says selling the farm would be a great way to practice 'detachment', 
hubby and I have been reading too many Buddhism-related books, I think. 
Looking at George's pictures made me jealous--and I better not share 
them with my husband in his current state of mind.  There might be an RV 
out there yet with our names on it.
