They are beautiful. I confess, I did not follow the trip for one reason, I have a big mouth and I was afraid I would be so engrossed in the trip you two were taking I would just comment and blurt out info which would tell the world you were not home! Since you specifically asked us not to mention that I thought I would be safe instead of sorry. I will catch up on all of it before Monday. You are such a sweetie to have been worried. Life was a bit nuts for the last 10 days. Oh, I know how silly I must sound, goodness a week! But you know writing that and knowing caring friends were reading and praying was like a huge hug and after writing it just felt so much better. I promise to drop a line to update everyone on Monday, late in the evening. I just want you to know that even when I did not follow the trip as you took it, each day I woke up smiling, prayed for travel mercies and good waeather and fun for you both. I am so happy for you to have had this opportunity and cannot wait until Friday when I actually have a free afternoon of no pre op Dr appts and such to catch up. Thank you again Betsy. By the way how is George's dad doing? I have kept him in my prayers also. Big huge hugs back to you.
