Whatever with the house...If it needs to go, it needs to go. Would Mandy and Sammie want to buy it? Any idea what it would sell for? May be worth talking over with Chad and getting his opinion on whether it would hurt/help Mom and Dad's cause or just prolong/add to all the crap. I have no emotional ties to that house and really I have always thought of the house in Gideon as "home"...so again, whatever is my vote on that! Judy sorry your scooter antics led you to muscles gone awry!! Jeanie, sorry Maggie is sick! I continue to feel like crap today...day 2 1/2 in bed..I hate it. Jerry got me some drugs yesterday and at least I got a good nights sleep. I swear the next time I fly I'm wearing one of those SARS mask! Jerry accepted his contract this morning and is now preparing to tell the military higher ups and drop his retirement papers. Exciting and scary all at the same time!! Still only a handful of people know, but I figure he'll make a big announcement maybe next week sometime. Can't believe it...now the hardest part is waiting for the Summer to move! I'll keep you posted on house hunting plans!! Love you, Jamie
