Almost Home!!!

We arrived at Mom's house yesterday afternoon. Today she has had me busy doing chores such as changing furnace filters and smoke alarm batteries. One of her filters is an unusual size: 10"x10". No one in Morganton has them in stock. Lowe's can order them, but you have to buy a case lot of 12, and it will take two weeks to get them. Being a practical kinda guy, I bought a 10"x20" and cut it in half. Two for the price of one! That seemed to work OK for now. I suggested she talk to some of her neighbors. Maybe they have some, or could go in with her on a case load.

We had hoped to visit with our friends Bob and Donna while we were here, but we learned yesterday that Bob had a heart attack on Saturday. They took him to the heart center in Charlotte on Sunday for tests and treatment, and now they have determined he will need to have bypass surgery. Our prayers go out to Bob and his family.

We will be home tomorrow. We have doctor's appointments in the afternoon and volleyball in the evening (I miss my volleyball!). I think we are ready to be home!
