Thanks for thinking about me. In fact, I am sitting here working on booking a flight down to see her for her 83rd birthday. Her sister, my aunt, is flying down from New York and offered to pay my fare to get there also. I think Dad is getting ready to move her into a nursing home perhaps even before then. She's become dead weight to lift, and Dad is going to end up hurting himself if he continues to try to help her up and down. It's time. A hard pill to swallow, but Dad cannot afford to get hurt trying to care for her at home.

I've been really sick for the last two weeks and am finally on the mend I think. Just finished up my last two concerts for the season. Thursday is the last day of school, and next Saturday our youngest graduates from high school. Rather busy around here.
