Your dad's in St. George so the Diet Coke is out in the open. A crew is installing the ground floor carpeting....finally! I've just let the old Shadow Lane sofa go for yet another reupholstering. We're returning to blue. Your dad is hopefully going to relax and try to absorb all that's occurred with his health. I'm hoping it'll lift his spirits, and hence how he'll be feeling. When the carpet installers leave, I'm meeting an expert in Kaysville to evaluate antiques which mother collected, in anticipation of getting their house on the market. This estate stuff has got to come to an end!

I know Ollie turns 3 on Friday, and it makes me remember how we celebrated his first birthday in Seabrook. Let's get back there next summer. I'm going to look in to a house.....end of June, first of July. How does that sound? I'm keeping this simple and "unparagraphed" so hopefully, some of you will "weigh in" as well. L/Mom
