Thank you for all the best wishes. It was quite a weekend, and I'm still recovering from all the excitement, big surprise of seeing Rudi, and skiing with him on Sunday.

He was so kind to leave me his credit card so that I could buy a new pair of skis without letting Punki see it on my credit card statement. Since she was sick, she couldn't use it at Nordstom's, so I sent it back to Rudi so that he wouldn't have to explain all of the charges to Gisela.

I can hardly wait until next year.
