Tried to go with some chronological order and that doesn't work either. I'm still looking for a clone to help me out. Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar can only help so much.<br /><br />Anyway, quite the location to celebrate your anniversary. I have been to a similar location. Kimberley, British Columbia. That's it. I'm going now.<br /><br />Gary :) klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-59220063157472226012014-06-12T15:54:40.783-04:002014-06-12T15:54:40.783-04:00My pleasure!

The only yodeling I've ever tried to do is in the song "The Lonely Goatherd" from "The Sound of Music." Not that I'm any good at it, but it's fun to try.

Thank you. Theme towns are a lot of fun. I never got to Helen while I lived in Georgia, but I've been to Leavenworth (Bavarian town) in Washington State, and others have mentioned Solvang in California. Okay Solvang is Danish, but still… <br /><br />I'd have to skip the food, though. With the exception of my mom's German potato salad, not even the half of me that's German is a fan.<br /><br /><a href="http://vrbarkowski.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">VR Barkowski</a>VR Barkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927993233682731113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-57677131805212398242014-06-08T17:17:11.860-04:002014-06-08T17:17:11.860-04:00I'm glad you did.
