"2. As a fellow human, I must say you and you DH do truly ROCK!"
I concur with SteveH's take on you and your dh and also Rodney's!!! The fact that you will continue to check on him is an even more in-depth take on what kind of people you really are. I would be proud to call you "family".
Nice machine by the way. Good that you will be adopting it and taking good care of it too.
