I am sorry to tell all of you that his father-in-law passed away last Friday evening, and he and his family are in Indiana for the funeral. His mother-in-law doesn't have a 'puter, so he will be incommunicado til next week. They are due to get back sometime on Sunday.

He said to tell everyone why he isn't here, and that he misses all of you bozos a lot. I got that in an e-mail he sent me Saturday morning, but I had gone out of town and just got back yesterday late.

Post your regards here, and I will make sure he reads them all next week asap.

Thank you to all of those who have replied to this. And GBS, yes, I do miss my dear friend. It's been months since we've gone so long without chatting at least once. I am keeping VB, his wife, and girls in my prayers.

Thank you all for your kind words. I am going to keep this at least on the first page, so here's another bump!

I'll be sure to pass this on to him when he comes home. I'm sure he appreciates all of the kind words and wishes from everyone.

Thank you GBS, for that. You mean a lot to both of us, I know. Take care, my friend.

On behalf of VB, I thank all of you for your words of support. I hope to talk with him in the morning, and will tell him to check this thread. So, I'm bumping it back up so he can find it in the morning.

To give everyone a quick update, VB and family got home late last night. He sent me an email this morning and said that they were really tired and he would be taking today off and resting and taking care of the house. He may not be on his computer much until tomorrow, and will read this then.

He's baaaaaaaaaaaack!

Thanks PB, for posting this; I was just going to slip away quietly.....

And thanks to those who responded with their condolences; it's appreciated, and it feels great to be part of the SD family.

Oh, and Dragonlady honey, you can come by with the hot cinnamon oil anytime!

And when she's done, I've got the vanilla oil to soothe that stress away, hon. Hope everything is going well, or at least better.
