:ange: Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Gosh I would love to go to this.. but.. I don't think our heel OR recall would be sufficent enough for a day like that. I'm not sure the OH would agree to something like this either LOL It's nice to dream.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
