Shades,

Have a great trip! We did the surprise thing one year with our D's. I still remember the looks on their faces.

I get "blow off" responses too. Once I said "Think better of yourself...I do" and I goota say, it took him back.

Hope all goes well for MIL's brother. You are very kind to take her to see him. I know she'll always be grateful.

Is there beer to go with that pizza???? have a good night.
