We are actually at home

Jake and Rita and J.J. and Ricky (Rick's two boys)on Grampa's 79th birthday.

Just thought we'd let you know that we have returned early to help Jake celebrate his 79th birthday on March 2nd. We stayed in Brandon for a week and then, as Jake appears to be rallying in palliative care, we decided to come home. Rita was happy to have the support for the week. She and Donna are at the hospital as much as they can be.

We had planned to still be in Texas by now, and when we have to go outside, we wish we were still there...

The last week in New Iberia, we stayed in a motel across the highway from the RV Park for 3 days while the roof on our RV was being repaired. We had to take it to Breaux Bridge to be done. We were very thankful to get an efficient, well priced job done. That's a rare commodity down there (or anywhere, for that matter).

Shari and Abby are happy to have us home. Shari's new cat, Minx, is not so sure about it.

No doubt we will be travelling back to Brandon before too long, either to give Rita a break in hospital visiting, or to be there for the final farewell. The fact that Jake is still here and in the shape he's in is nothing short of a miracle. The doctors can't even figure it out!!

Have a good day!
