  2. Hello Rita,
    Thank you for the recent visit and comment on my BabyBoomerAdvisorClub blog. It was so good to see you again.
    If I had know you were this close to me, I would have driven over to see you. Boston is a long ride but to the Space Museum, less then 2 hours.
    Glad you had a great vacation.
    Southern smiles and world peace,
