I do understand. You want to spend what precious time you have with the people that love you the most. There is nothing wrong with that! I wish I even had that choice when it comes to my Dad, but thankfully my Mom's still alive and kicking, so I may file suit and hang with her whenever she feels up to traveling again.

bring him with! kill two birds with one stone

That's your MOM! She's the only one you have. As only children, you and I both know how important Mom is...even more so because we don't have siblings to spend that time with, you know? How dare he get his panties in a bunch because of the way you choose to spend your vacation days! That makes me so angry.

Will do - PM me your #, I switched phones and lost everyone's info.

Oh thaaaaat's what that was, haha. I did hear it, and was mildly confused and then forgot about it. I'm gonna try joyce leslie in white plains...if I can't find anything I might just fake having food poisoning and skip the whole to-do.

Have a wonderful weekend, enjoy this pretty weather we're having.

Thanks! I'm enjoying it. It's funny, I hate driving, but I'm loving riding. Everything looks different from the back of a bike.

thank you hon. how have you been?

Even though I spent lots of quality time with my mum, it was ever enough. She left us in 1990 at the age of 69 and still miss her everyday.
Spend as much time with yours as possible!!!
