Art didn't come home today and they still haven't told him anything. Our day turned out to be hot after all and we had thunder and a sprinkle. SO, so much for what I thought was going to be a good day. Got a lot of phone calls to make tomorrow. One to DMV to see why one pink slip is two weeks behind the others. Started the whole proceedure in March. I got an invitation to your Michelle's shower today. It is really nice that they always invite me to all their family affairs. I appreciate being invited even though I often can't go. It's late so I'm out of here. Keep safe and hope Cass is better. Love from your old Granny and "our" special other person, G. When you get home I will show you one of the things I did to help think things would go right for you. xxoo Maime is here from AZ and Jessica stays at the hospital a lot.

Yes, I survived Disneyland only because I rented a wheelchair and had good pushers. ( Don't worry, I still had to do a lot of walking. It was about a mile to the gate and then a mile back at night to our hotel. ) It turned out great as we got VIP treatment to a special entrance and on the rides sooner. I never imagined that there were so many new rides, and things to do. It took us four days and then we missed some. My favorite was "Soaring California". It was just like being in a glider. When we flew low I raised my feet. ha I also liked the 3-D movies. I'd take off my glasses just to see where the bugs or? were if thet got in my face. I missed the spray the bugs did and the bite on the butt as I was in the w-chair. I guess they have pins in the seats. ha I bet I was the biggest kid there and having as much fun as any of them. It was very crowded and hot. I never saw anyone mean to their kids or ? The only thing I'd recommend was to have people walk to their right. Sometimes it was hard to get any place as kids and people were coming at you.XXXOOOMeemo I’ve enjoyed your BLOG’S. Yes, I survived Disneyland only because I rented a wheelchair and had good pushers.

I guess you guys have been pretty lucky so far about your health unless you have been keeping quiet. B called this morning and said Art was in the hospital so I called down there and talked to him. I guess there is something wrong besides the breathing but they haven't said what. The travelers should be home by this weekend. Got calls from both of them. They are not together but both are in CA and near home. The weather is better today so I guess that's something good. Seems like so many people are having some kind of problem that even a good day is a GOOD change. I'll be so glad to have you home. I know your job is hard on you but maybe it will be better this year. Let's hope so. Kathy and Mike flew to visit Michelle today. Hope they have fun. Lu took me to the P.O. yesterday and to the copy place and then she got me and herself a drink from the other Lou's place. She showed me the Disneyland pictures and they were fun. It had been a long time since she had had time to stay and talk. It was really nice. No other big news. Please hurry home because we sure do miss you.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear from you so soon... THANKS! I hope Cassidy is feeling better. I have seen pictures of Mancora, and the beaches, palm trees, and gorgeous sunsets make it look like my kind of place. I have read that it is a real surfers' paradise. It sounds like you had a lot of fun shopping with so many crafts available. I love reading about your adventure, and even your description of the food. It is going to be a difficult adjustment to coming back home..... especially because of the routine of work and the lack of free time, but we'll be a lot happier to have you home. Oh well, you can start thinking about your next trip. I had no idea that Ecuador used the American dollar. I'm looking forward to reading about your stay there. We love you Darcy! Say hi to Cassidy for me. I am so glad she has been your traveling buddy. Take care! Love, Mom Wow! I was pleasantly surprised to hear from you so soon… THANKS! I hope Cassidy is feeling better.
