NC,
My family doesn't live close by either. I too understand the longing for the comfort of your family.

Is your oldest son involved in any kind of sport, scouting, etc.? I have made some of my best friends through their activities.

How are you feeling physically? Are you on medication right now for the ulcers?

Hugs, Yoyo
