Sorry is NOT the hardest word... The hardest word is goodbye!
My sailor came home for a week. We bought his car and he was delivering it to us. It was wonderful having him home, as it ALWAYS is. But the week passes too quickly every time and I swear it passes ever faster each time he comes home.

Brenda Sue said… - Karen, I am sooo sorry about your mom!!!
I am real happy that you get to go with us Saturday!!!!!!!
We have four from this area going and one from Dayton we were going to pick up!! Let me check into seeing if someone else can drive also!! Can you? We were planning on meeting at the Market Basket at the corner of HWY 105 and 96/69 about 7:15 - 7:30 Saturday morning. Is that ok with you? I bet the mom from Dayton can drive and someone can ride with her and we can follow each other.
