ReplyDeleteIf KHP get's 2018 WEG, can I book some couch space with you? Pretty Please with a cherry on top *puppy-dog-eyes*
Of course!!! I'm trying not to get ahead of myself to get my hopes up about KHP getting it again. But if it's here my place will be open to friends and hopefully I can have some sort of get together.
DeleteThis is a great list! I couldn't function without Equibase, so I think it's pretty cool that you work there!
