Wecome from a former Wisconsinite - I was born in Kenosha, but my father and Ex were in the Navy so I've traveled ... A LOT! Have been in 48 states (OR and WA are on the only 2 I've missed) and a few foreign countries, now live about 65 miles north of NYC - have always found that having some handwork with me has made me friends wherever I've been - this board is like that only so much better!
