How exciting! Is she back from her trip? Because I was under the impression Michael was in Hawaii the last couple weeks. Dianne |

She's been at her vacation home here on the main land most of the summer, not sure if she went to HI or not.
She bought something cool, a floating trampoline for the lake for the grandkids. They say it's harder than it looks to stay up on, the grandkids look like they're having to struggle to balance themselves on it. When she came here for a visit she brought a photo album and when i saw the trampoline on water I wanted one!! Anybody here have a trampoline that floats on water? if ya do, how is it? Michael's home until rehearsals for play starts.

It's one I found on the internet. Just wanted those who've never seen one to see what they look like. Trampoline looks like a lot of fun to me. I'm still a kid at heart.

Bren, I checked the Tower House web. Thanks for posting it. Do you have any idea when Driving Miss Daisy will be playing near Florida (or if they will be)? I have a friend who is really wanting to go. Thanks, Dianne |
