Quick Note -- We're out of here tomorrow before noon for a wedding vow renewal/reception at Myrtle Beach, so don't look for me before Monday night earliest.
Please hold Mom in your thoughts -- I have guilt feelings about leaving her alone for almost four days, especially since she's starting a new antibiotic for a sinus infection. It's been a hard decision to make, but she encourages us to go.
Hi DR
While I understand your guilt feelings I applaud you for doing something on your own without her!
I will keep your mom in my thoughts and prayers.
Have a great time and see you Monday!
Bill
