I was just wondering Kathy Ellen because I've never heard Ducky speak about Faith before.

Thanks for the pics!

I'd almost forgotten how much fun holidays can be. Keep the photos coming, this is a novel leap into the unknown the ducks have invented.

you've been to cornwall as well then ??:wah::wah::rolleyes:

You live in a country which defines what summer is, it's just that summer's defined with very few cloud-free days. A bit like life really.

We are back to the real world and arrived home around 1pm. Took about an hour and a half driving when we came upon a gas station with gas prices at $3.28 per gallon.

The last two days of vacation they had to close the beaches because needles and medical waste were coming in with the high tide:mad: and I missed VTT (Valuable Tanning Time), but all in all, the weather was fantastic and the water was about 70 to 75 degrees.

So, what does a mom duck do? She goes shopping with her redheaded duckling and we bought lots of goodies. Candles, halloween decorations super cheap, some antique belt buckles for her mom for Christmas, cheesecake in 4 different flavors:-4, and best of all I got to take my daughters out to the Outback steakhouse for some super grub.

Breakfasts were also very popular with my crowd. Carmen's in Sea Isle City for giant breakfasts with eggs, hash browns, the works. We took all of Laura's housemates for brekkie, got to out to dinner at Obadiah's and had my fave dinner, softshell crabs:-4 Still have a hankering for them.

Did everyone get my posties? Well, we ended up making friends with the people out back and had some wine with them and they took Quin out on the Pirate Adventure on the bay. Still waiting for the photos. From what I hear it's pretty cool and they gave them names, so Quin was Questful Quilan.:wah:

There are more pix that my daughter took and will post them shortly. And I would love to thank Kathy Ellen for posting all the pix I sent. Nice job!:)

Ok folks, have to log off here and get unpacked and stuff. I'll be back on later.:-4
