EDITOR’S CORNER

The time has finally arrived ---- Driving season!

The 21st Annual Swap Meet is now history and the focus now is getting on the road. Check out the listing of upcoming events on page 19 of this month’s issue. Make your reservations for the tours – some hotels book up fast so you don’t want to procrastinate! (I’m guilty of this often!)

Mother Nature has given us some ‘false starts’ this year, but I know ‘Spring is in the air’ and gas is in the tank, so I’m heading out this weekend to stretch my legs a little – top-up or down. When I return maybe I’ll settle down to finish those pesky income tax returns sitting on my desk.….or maybe I’ll just keep on driving…
See you on the road…
