    Oh but mandy, my “trail” always lingered too long. Even if I swam away, it followed!
    We also had a sign that read, “Welcome to our ool, notice there’s no ‘P’ in it, please keep it that way”.

    Enjoy florida, wave at my house for me…it probably doesn’t miss me b/c it knows we’ve abandoned it and are trying to get rid of it, but I have the faint belief that it still loves me as I love it. Wave, will you?
