If that's the right Chorley. I tried Mapquest
yesterday
and it said there about a dozen Chorley's and it kept
showing me Chorley WV1, even if I typed in Chorley,
Lancs or Chorley PR7. Actually, it was
maps.yahoo.co.uk
There was only one Chorley to choose at yahoo weather
though, so I have no idea which one I got.

Ah, well, since she's a Mormon and I'm a Mormon too...
but I get the idea. =8-)

Yes, but cooing over your son is so easy! Definitely
a handsome young fellow.

Actually, she's in Palmyra, New York right now and
will
be only flying from St. Louis to Salt Lake Thursday
evening. I, oth, will be *driving* 600 miles on Thurs!
We'll be taking a break for a picnic in either Valley
of Fire* or Zion Natl Park* most likely. Pix will be
posted after.

I guess I'm most worried about the hugging thing; my
natural reaction is going to be to go for a great big
hug, but if someone tells me "Oh, they don't do that
in
Lancashire" I'll try to tone it down a bit.
