  2. Hi Madi & Mom,

    Bubble gum day is nice Madi but celebrating with it in your paw is not good. I'll bet your Mom can get it out.

    The only fact I remembered was about Fontana Dam. I grew up in the western part of GA not far from Atlanta. My family loved to vacation in North Carolina. The area around Fontana Dam and Grandfather Mountain were favorite detinations. I remember the Linville bridge too, it seemed higher than 80 feet when you were standing in the middle looking down.

    Have a great weekend,
    Judy & Cindi Lou

  4. Hi Madi and Madi's Mom! Good facts! Do you know that your red wall is almost the same red wall I have in my TV room!!lol
    Thanks for asking about Penny. She has a very long road ahead of her. The cancer was more than we thought and they ended taking more tongue than we thought but the left side is still left and she can probably still talk and swallow after therapy. Please keep her in your prayers.

  7. Madi, we never even knew it was Bubble gum day - honestly we are not being taught anything over here in Scotland.
    Mum was interested in the Biltmore Estate's winery but did think 250 rooms would be a bit much! Must be huge!
    love and kisses
