Good morning, Beachy!

*HUGS*

I remember the VW Microbus quite well - we owned three of them in the late 50's - early 60's.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
