Travis,

So being part of your mom's OCF family won't be good enough to get me in to see her on Thursday. So I guess I will put my plans to visit your mom on hold.

Please let me know when she can have visitors.

Jim...I have heard that steak in the blender is great. Don't forget the mushrooms and onions!! I gotta tell you...I had steak the other day and it wasn't very good. Turns out I'm not the meat eater I once was. I really prefer pasta...any kind of pasta. I guess that will happen when you marry into an Italian family. I've learned some great recipies too!! Too bad I can't have everyone over and cook some yummy food. Seriously, who enjoys food more than OC survivor?!?!

I am glad to see she has been moved to rehab. Hopefully she will be home soon. Once she is home can you post her home address so we can send her cards. Tell her we are thinking of her.
