Oh I love your road trip with your mom! That is the most perfect thing to do, for you at this time in your mom's life and for her at this time in your life. No wonder of course, you generally are doing the exact right thing.

Do you feel that first shift and breath of fall? I do, even down here.

So much to report but can't muster it at the moment. Will try to get to my thread one of these days, if only to elicit some shock even from DnJ.

I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord with courage.
Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
