To all of you who have been inquiring about John and his family, they are safe. He was finally able to get an audio out on his blog site. Things are in a mess down there but they feel abundantly fortunate when they see the damage others are facing. There is a great deal of uncertainty for all of those who find themselves in an unthinkable situation. I just pray the best comes out of all of it. Without water, sewer systems and electricity life is pretty miserable for everyone involved.

Rocky, Becky and I leave for Springfield tomorrow morning very early. It’s an 80-mile drive and we have to be at the Imaging Building by 7:30am. Time for a routine check to make sure everything is OK with Rocky’s brain since the surgery 16-months ago. Then he has a dental appointment at 10:30, an EEG at the Outpatient Clinic at Cox South Hospital at 12:30pm and Becky has to see her Orthopedic Surgeon about her leg at 3:30pm. I’m hoping to find time for lunch and some necessary shopping before coming home.

I’ll try and make it back by Thursday……….have a great Wednesday, everybody.
