Keith, so happy to hear that the surgery was a success.  As someone speaking from experieince, I can tell you that it is wonderful to be able to take those glasses off, if even on a part time basis.   Rose, happy birthday to your dad.  Today is also my in-laws 55th wedding anniversary.  They have been making each other miserable for a mighty long time&#33;&#33;&#33;  Jackie, glad to hear you have arrived in California intact.  Let us know when you reach the inn.  Mary Lou, I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Amish country.  Before we sold the RV last year, I was always bugging Greg to take me on a trek thru there.  Sue, maybe you could just let Pappy eat the grass and then enclose him in a room without carpeting until he &quot;did his business&quot; and his tummy was fine again.  Hi Joey, Ed, Tonia, Shari, Deb, Debbie, Carmen, Karla, and others I know I am missing - having a sr. moment here and can&#39;t remember everyone.  I notice that Andrea hasn&#39;t been around today - that is unusual - hope all is well with her.   We are down to 7 days until we take Scotty on vacation - I can&#39;t forget the count, as he calls me everyday and tells me what it is.   Well, better go finish up Greg&#39;s dinner - spaghetti and meatballs tonight.
