Thanks Amy. From what I understand they are like spiders. They produce a massive egg sack, then expire with the onset of winter. The babies hatch in the spring and repeat the cycle. (are you happy with the election results? Just curious)

Interesting thanks Paul , Gosh that's a tough question I'm not sure from our point of view It would appear Biden isn't too fond of helping us I hope I'm wrong ....
It seems its still possible to travel over there Paul ,our granddaughter is coming home on the 30th November for 2 months but meantime is having a vacation travelling to Salt lake city Utah ... Grand Canyon Arizona ... Palm springs California .. 5 girls travelling together ... lucky girls ..

I really don't know what Biden is running on. I heard rumors he wanted to reinstate Obama Care - we know who's pulling his puppet strings. lol. I think we are in for a bumpy ride. Be sure to check ahead to see what's open and when. Many places are running on a stinted schedule.
Sounds like the girls are going to have an awesome time. I've always wanted to see the Grand Canyon. Did they take the mule ride? It's so vast and amazingly beautiful. It's interesting that certain plant only grow there. I'm sure they'll have lots to talk about.

Paul the girls only left on their travels yesterday so I'm not sure about a mule ride I'm hoping she sends me photos ..
I'm thinking a certain someone who married a prince to further her ambitions will be aiming for the top spot :o(
