One of my grandpa’s brothers passed away yesterday. He was younger than my grandpa but had been diagnosed with mesothelioma some time last year. I saw him earlier this year at a local flea market where he and my aunt used to go all the time. He was one of the brothers that I knew better than the others (there were originally 6 boys and 1 girl). I’ll miss you, Uncle Tom. ---

**{{{StickyBuns}}}** so sorry for your loss. RIP Uncle Bob. **gotti** I remember you sayin’ DH and you had plans to move back to California. Do you have a definite timeline or is it still in the plan stage? It’s gettin’ cloudy and right breezey out. The kind of weather that makes da bear sleepified. So, who’s startin’ us off tomorrow. I say, next person to post! ---

I don’t like it as much as the other Ravel pieces they played earlier (Mother Goose Suite and Daphnis and Chloe) but I’ll go along with it.

[QUOTE=swampbear] **gotti** I remember you sayin’ DH and you had plans to move back to California. Do you have a definite timeline or is it still in the plan stage? [/QUOTE] We’re tentatively looking at September. Just trying to figure the most cost-effective way to do it. PODS is the most convenient but most expensive DIY option at over $12,000 and Uhaul is less than half the price, but getting a piano up the ramp will be …interesting. Not to mention being a caravan of two trucks plus our pickup pulling a travel trailer. We have some extraordinary friends who are interested in going west with us, so we’ll be able to rotate drivers, ---
