Jerry, with your get up and go getem attitude, even you need a break at times. I'm sorry for the worry your friends caused but mother nature keeps things out of our control. I wish them both well and understand the need a break even if it's for knee replacement. My lifelong buddy was scheduked for a heart stent and when they did the tests, they discovered that he is full of cancer thru out his system. After all of this moving and getting this place in shape, I need a room too. LOL Need a roomamte??
