I bake only breads, not much on cakes of sweets though Don makes cookies
sometimes from a mix.  I do oven soda breads and breadmachine stuff here.

If i get there by Friday and you are a alone, I have a hotel room with a spare
queen bed.  It's a smoking room but I can smoke outside with no hassles. 
Cant plan much though til last minute with my schedule.  Grin, not sure how
Don would take it if Richard was along with you in that bed though.

Yup!  Hey, Janis did mention she has lots of room for any who have a sleeping
bag if they do not mind that.  I'm not sure what else she has but it seemed
to involve a spare sofa or so as well at the least.

Grin, I can easily smoke outside and Don probably as well.  The 'spare room'
if ready, has a door and we can just close it off.  Will have it's own AC
system (sitting in a box just now, waiting for the room to be ready).  Also
has a separate electric oil heater.  In good weather, should be able to open
up that room so it's screens all around and pretty much like the outside.  We
have a queen sized sofa sleeper waiting to go in that room and if we add the
queen futon on it, should be pretty comfy enough.
