Back Again - But for how Long?

Back from MIA, but only for a sort while, then off (maybe) to VA, then back to MIA. And speaking of that, I just posted a new blog entry on my Shagmiser Blog - check it out.

Paul, Teresa, and the kiddos are due in late today or tomorrow. They need their annual ration of sun, sand, sea and surf (and don't we all). Kendra (sans Steve for now) and the girls are visiting sister Carrie right now, so we'll have a pretty good family group here @thebeach this week. Pretty cool.

Back to MIA in about a week and a half to help Robin and Kathie. Sister Melissa will be joining us this time for the help out while Robin takes on a secret mission to Gitmo. Really hush, hush stuff.

Sally's still fending off the tourons at the aquarium while Susan's spending all her waking hours at Dillard's. Me? I'm just doing my Internet thing, taking Mom to various doc type appointments. The really bad lower back pains she's been experiencing lately are the result of a compressed spinal joint (?). The ortho guy will probably do some outpatient procedure to correct the problem and hopefully relieve the pain. Then it's on to physical therapy, which she ain't too happy about, especially since they denied us getting her one of those power wheelchairs. But it's like the doc said, use it or lose it.

I hear that the SF Hales (Peter, Bekah, and the group) just visited Austin to catch up with twin bro Paul and family. We can't wait to hear all about it.

Oh yeah! Why a trip to VA? Next post I'll spill the beans.

Till next time,
Old Bro
