I have passed up a few Escher puzzles. Definitely a challenge. They are always 1000 piece and I have sitting problem working with that size. Besides, I don't need anymore insanity in my life! LOL

Glenda, attending those events must have been amazing! With my interest in fashion (said by unfashionable me!), I imagine the Inaugural Ball must have been especially wonderful.

There are several chain motels that are near Kennett Square and a few smaller inns and B&B's. Some of them offer deals that include tickets to Longwood Gardens. We attended a wedding in that area a few years ago and rather than driving home late at night after the reception we booked a room at a Best Western Plus in Glen Mills. It had either just opened or had recently been remodeled and it was very nice. The Brandywine Valley area would make great getaway trip - there a lot of interesting museums, gardens and historical sites.

Our son, Virgin Islands, he accepted a Marshal job there for 2 yrs, wife and dog there too!
