I was pretty sure that was what you would say. I think that the U. S. probably paid for that wedding, with tourist dollars, so the residents of GB got a little break there, for a few days, but I'm sure their upkeep is might expensive, the rest of the year. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more American tourists there, fascinated by the wedding, than British citizens.

I think the bottom line is that everyone loves royalty, and all the pomp and ceremony that goes with it, unless they're the ones who have to pay for it all the time.
I'm doing fine, and feeling good. If this drought continues for the rest of the summer, Texas is probably going to dry up and blow away, but other than that, I can't complain.
We'll be looking forward to your annual leave, too - maybe you'll be able to post more, then. We miss you, and we always enjoy your posts.
