OKSGlad ... just in case you check in ...... have a wonderful trip!! and a safe journey. What a grand time you will have with your DSis.
MiraB ... whaddya mean, for me? I seem to recall YOU being THE one!
GGal ... Glad the snails made their way to your door! The getaway retreat sounds absolutely wonderful. Your QB friend sure is dealing with a lot with both her DH and DM. It will be hard for her to leave them, I am sure, but perhaps with some respite care arranged she could feel comfortable to get away and have a much needed break.
