Carolyn,
We got home from our trip to Arizona on Tuesday night. This is the first chance I've had to catch up on the boards. That's why it's taken me so long to chime in.
How wonderful for you!! How exciting!! Congratulations!! I wouldn't even have thought to try doing something like that with my LOBPI hand. Because of you, I might try to do that the next time I'm confronted with a similar situation, though I can't recall owning anything right now that zips up the front.
