Thanks to all of you for your encouragement and the information. You have given me some really useful info. I thought I had asked about everything but Cara, I didn't know that I needed to be eating gluten now. I'll start eating everything I've wanted for a long time. It seems almost a sin to do it tho after being gluten free for a year.

Jan, the instructions about using the basement to find where we are going will probably come in handy when I get lost as I usually do when we are in strange places (no sense of direction). My husband could be dropped in the middle of a desert and still find his way, me...I'd be one of those walking in a circle for the rest of my life.

Nancy, I hadn't thought about emergency things for the car and your post reminded me of some things. Thanks.
