So glad your morning is over and everything went ok!! Pam's right, we do owe you big time!! Once I get to Murray and settled in, I'd like to pick a day once a week to drive over and see Mom and Dad. It takes 2 hours 45 minutes to get there...I'd visit for an hour or so...help with lunch service and then head back...Even if I left LNC at 3...I'd be home by 6 at the latest. I doubt if Jerry would even be home from work by then. After being 2300 miles away, a 3 hour drive seems like nothing!! Ok don't be hatin' on my ghetto Chrysler LOL!...I have so many stories about that stupid car! Once when Mom and Judy came to visit, we ran down to the flea market that was about 5-6 miles from my house. It's Oklahoma so it's like 100 in the shade with a hot wind blowing from the south. We hop in the Chrysler and Mom, sitting in the back, says put some air on! I explain that I can't run the air because the engine gets too hot and the insulation will catch on fire. ( I know this, because it had already happened to me one morning while the boys and I were dressed up and heading to a promotion party on post at Fort Sill! I've never seen flames shoot out from under the hood of a car like that except in movies!) She gives me that look as I'm rolling down the windows. By the time we get to the flea market, Mom's hair is so wind blown that she looks like those pictures you see of Albert Einstein! She gets out of the car and asks me if her hair looks bad. As I'm trying to get her hair to look somewhat like it did when we left the house, I answered something like "No, it looks fine! Besides no one knows you here anyway! Look at that beautiful glassware in that woman's booth!" And off she went. Of course the ride home we used the same air conditioning technique and when she walked in the house, Dad said something like "What did you do to your hair?" Mom "Why? Does it look horrible?" Dad...a smirk and a chuckle and then silence...smart man...as Mom makes her way down the hall to the bathroom! Too funny...I have a few funny stories with the old Volvo as well...they have more curse words and angry overtones associated with them though...probably cause the wounds are fresher!! Ok, putting on the rain gear and heading out the door!! YUK...Love you all, Jamie
