Never underestimate a loving, close-knit family. Too many families today are fractured and dysfunctional. Glad you belong to one that's not. I too am blessed with both an immediate and an extended loving family. Can't wait to hear the details.

had a great family get together yesterday..3 out of 4 daughters, 3 grand kids, 1 SIL..kid #4 was still 'enroute and did not arrive 'till late..oh yea, I was there too..BUT, Dee was not with us..she is in hospital, recovering from open heart surgery..she is doing well..went emergency room Sunday nite with breathing difficulties, and after many tests, a damaged heart valve was found..valve was also infected, so it had to go..was scheduled for Friday, but the docs did not want to wait..surgery was done Tues. afternoon..doc said all went well and she has a new valve, and the infection was removed..our kids were all on their way to see Dee at the time they moved up surgery..Dee is doing well..she is out of cardiac care, and might get to come home on Monday...not sure about that tho..hope..those are the details..it has been a hell of a week for sure..camp, as you might guess, is iffy, at best..not much more to say, certainly when things slow a bit the sight of Dee's kids was awesome, she lit up like a XMAS tree..our kids live in NJ, TEX, and SOCAL, so it is a big deal thanks and keep your family,and friends too, close to your heart always bill

Glad to hear all went well, but I can see why your week has been tough. Will br praying Dee heals quickly and completely. Would be great to see you again at camp, but surely can understand why it's questionable. Have told Carol about meeting you both at fall camp. She is usually with me.

Thanks Don..if we cannot attend, both of us will be disappointed for sure. Dee's best friend lives in AZ., and wants to come and take care of her. How cool is that? They are very close. I did leave the hospital just a while ago, she fell asleep. She is getting better. Thanks again..bill

Dar and I was lucky enough to meet you and your wife at fall camp, It sounds like the family reflects their parents. I hope all are home for the holiday.

Been a rough couple days, My mom passed on. I know the last 18 months was not how she wanted to go out......but she is no longer suffering.

Our condolences Steve to you and all your family. Carol and I will be praying that God will provide comfort during this time when you need it most.

Be great to see all of you once more. Last time was a blast and My brother and I learned a lot.
