oh yes, ralph, this is for real  ;)

I  ordered  the book, Mobile Homes, by Graham Rickard, Lerner Publications Co.
Minneapolis, MN, 1989....
it arrived two days before I departed for harrisburg
(whilst I was deperately asking myself in a panic what the hell I was doing
talking about
preserving and restoring mobile homes, on the same program with folks
demonstrating
colonial williamsburg handmade brick and ancient thatching techniques...  ;) )

GUESS what's on the cover?
hehe
a yurt....    ;)

given as an example of one of the first mobile homes used by humans,
and still in use today in some parts of the world   ;)
I took it as a sign.... and packed up the truck and headed east  to IPTW

so thanks for setting the stage, and I really was very sorry you did not
attend...
but next year's IPTW is, in fact, going to be in brookalino, according to
ken....
I hear it's a delightful place out by the ocean, with ton's of space...
so we'll see you there!

deb  "and I'll probably be bringing a mobile home"

if the IRS goes easy on me this year, maybe even a 1956 Spartan Royal Mansion!
