Well, we’re, at the computer-controlled 72ºF and sunny Codger…
“Collie, please park the ‘Express,’ you’re blocking our Gentle Reader’s view of the great natural beauty of the rest of us!”
“Sorry.”
“Ooo—that’s bright!”
As I was saying—Codger Lodge, here on Cyber-Lake Superior, a fitting end to our little romp through cyber-space.
“We had a lot of fun in our travels, Laura.”
“Yes we did, Helen, and the boys will never know where we were!”
“Yes they will”
“Oh, hi Molly, Joe, I hope we’re not intruding. Whatever do you mean?”
“Oh—you were seen and photographed by our Gentle Readers.”
“Yesterday was my birthday! I turned two people-years-old (let’s see—that’s 14 doggie-years-old—woo-hoo! I’m a teenager!)”
“Thanks for sharing Daisy—and take Jay’s camper-hat off! That's a scary thought Molly.”
“Sure Laura, just as soon as you remove people-dog Med’s sombrero!”
“You are certainly sounding like a teen.”
“How long do you s’pose it’ll take for the boys to figure out we’re here?”
“We got a day or so, I think, Helen.”
“Ya think?”
Laura, Helen, Collie & Marie
Well, all's well that ends well. Now, I have a question for the ladies. "Where did you shop and what did you buy while on your adventure?"
I know that they were spotted in Leesburg, very close to some world class shopping. If the ladies are regular visitors to the Mall of America, they may not have been able to resist some great shopping in the East.
Hate to say it guys, but prices around here are very high.
Mott: Codger codg·er (noun) [kójjәr] fellow a man, especially a man of advanced years who is seen as slightly eccentric or amusing.
Lenn: We visit the Mall, but not often. We prefer to shop our local merchants.
LauraMaureen: Jay hasn't drawn the near-faceless-one yet!

Hey Med, they're at the Lodge! Let's go!
A day to find them...yah sure, you betcha!
Jay & Med
Chris, Codgerette? Codger Ladies!
Uh-oh--they found us!
Laura
Happy Belated Birthday, Daisy! My Sam will turn 11 a week from today. He's a Codger Dog. :o)
Mott, glad to see you here! Keep coming back, you'll understand. This is the best place to start the day!
Welcome home ladies! I hope you enjoyed your trip, sure looked like fun! Big hug to Daisy for her birthday, she looks cute in the hat!
Happy early birthday to Blue Eyes too! (Sam)
Sarah, Sam's a beautiful dog-love the eyes-maybe Jay needs to draw him?
Lysa, our cyberselves did enjoy the trip.
Neal, Not sure about our cyber-selves, but our real selves are.
Bob, I'm sure Jay will have them show up in a mighty flash.

Good Afternoon all those in Codger-ville! Diet Coke in hand, in my fine tall plastic made in somewhere-other-than-here red COKE glass with lid and straw.............
I surely do love your graphics - world-class art work for sure!! Glad the ladies have been reunited with the gents.
