Just came back from visiting ET's sis, Mar and hubby, Fred, in Florida. Besides ET, and me, Steve and Kory went, too. Talk about a change in weather-sweatshirt and jeans when leaving home in the 40's, and shorts and tank top when arriving in Orlando to hot, humid 90's. Recognized Mar's house right away as it was the only brightly painted one in a development of pastels. Very nice place, with screened-in pool and patio in the back. We hung out there morning and night, swimming, eating, talking, talking, talking...why is it when brothers and sisters get together, their childhood is disected, and analyzed. Life was hard for them, but somehow they have got stuck in remembering only the negatives, and what this and that one did, and not letting the bad stuff go, and just to focus on the happier times. E didn't stay for much of the "discussions", as he has let go of all that stuff, and I was getting antsy after only one day of it. Let's go for a walk, a swim, read, eat??? We did go to Cocoa Beach, a town festival in Melbourne, Crab Heaven for delicious Maryland crabs, and Carabba's for great Italian food and service. And to just dream, we spent one full day visiting all the new models homes that were going up in the area, and deciding what layouts we all liked, and where we'd like to live IF we ever wanted to live in Fla.

I really had a good time. I loved talking to my little sister and felt bad because she just can't get over our hard times. Like you wrote babe, I'm over all that stuff and boy does it feel good. If any of you have ever had cronic back pain or whatever and suddenly you get up one morning and it's gone then you realize just how much pain you were in, well that's how I feel. And it is wonderful!
