    I was quiet because I slept almost all day!
    Went to a sign makers gathering in Reading, PA (pronounced Redding)
    It’s almost a 5 hour drive.
    I met up with Leigh, and Steve Geary, (and their spouses) who have been too busy to post here but said to say Hi to everyone.
    Everyone said our motel was going to be REALLY nasty so I drove home instead, even tho the motel charged my card $40.
    I would have rather done that and not stayed there, and got home at 3 AM.
    I didn’t go to Gettysburg or anything like I had planned.
    Love…Jill

    i had a few shandys too many last night and slept most the day too… sunday is by far the slowest day on the boards followed by saturday.

    good to hear Leigh and Steve Geary are busy… hope to one day get over to the states one day and maybe meet some of them. i fancy going over the the las vegas sign show one day…

    Well done to the English… Sad to see Flintoff retiring…. I think our selectors need a serious talking too…. but then the aussies are a young team now with no depth anymore….. wouldn’t mind betting Ponting will get the push in the next year…..that will leave us with a bunch of pretty boys….. heaven help us then….. 😉

    Almost put the hat on today, my english clients give me hell!!!

    ah Steve, I think you must be onto something here, is it to do with English vs Aussie pride? I mean, I hear that the Aussie’s are a good team but it doesn’t seem to be.

    So ‘we won’, but ‘how did we win?’, i thought these Aussies are unstoppable 😀

    Best not read the ramblings of someone like me, I think the Daily Telegraph has a supplement included tomorrow – that’ll be an informed read.
