Yes we are blessed! Mom and Dad are such fighters...just the way they grew up I guess...I'm not sure I have that kind of fight in me, but I'm hoping!!:) So glad you were all there to rally around and help pull Mom through this...I'm sorry I couldn't pull my weight this round, but soon I'll be just a stone's throw and available for anything! Jerry and I made it through all events on this end and then both collapsed from exhaustion on Thursday night. Friday we got several things done toward getting out the door and today Jerry just about finished the last of his paperwork for Madigan. Monday we have 4 appointments lined up here and we're opening our bank account in Murray via phone and transferring closing cost money into it on Monday as well. I'm hoping to hear about the appraisal on Monday or Tuesday and maybe the land financing this week as well. We won't make any decision about a Uhaul until we know more about what's going on with the house....the waiting is killing me...patience is not one of my virtues!! Jerry and Jerome still hope to leave around the 23rd or 24th. That's just around the corner and still so much to do! Ok, I've got to try and get some sleep...there's work to be done tomorrow! I love you all, Jamie
