Guest guest Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Denise, how fabulous! I remember when you and James were concerned that your move wasn't going to be veggie friendly and you didn't think there were any good health stores nearby at the time. This is so cool. It's great to hear these things work out like this. It sounded like a great time. Keep us informed!
