I cannot find any MaryL postings lately. Did the Texas floods affect her
area? MLB

No, she is fine. I've received e-mails from her. She should be back
posting soon!

I was on a two-week vacation and just returned to Texas this evening. There
was no damage at all in my area, but thanks for asking!!

I went to Ohio to visit friends and relatives and to go to my 50th high
school class reunion. Fifty years!! It's hard to believe. I had a
fantastic time. So often, we hear that "you can't go home again," but I had
a much better time than I could possibly have expected. We had 91 in our
graduating class, and 15 have died. There were 58 classmates at the reunion
(which I think is a great resonse) and 104 in attendance including spouses
and guests. I had a *wonderful* time visiting with old friends.
Miraculously, everyone seemed to know me at first glance, and several said
that I "hadn't changed much" since high school. Well, that's not true, but
it was a nice ego-booster. I spent an entire day with the woman who was my
best friend from 3rd grade through high school. She lives in Florida, and
we hadn't seen each other for more than 20 years. We traveled all around
our old "stomping grounds" and visited some friends. We even went to the
high school, and the principal gave us a personal guided tour. Extensions
have been added to each end of the original school, so we could hardly
recognize it when we first started the tour.

My brother and sister-in-law took my sister and I, my aunt, and a cousin to
dinner at a wonderful restaurant in Pittsburgh for our annual "group
birthday" feast. The next day, my sister and I got together with my aunt
and seven female cousins for our annual get-together, and my sister's
in-laws had us over for a delightful dinner. Everyone feeds me like I have
been starving for a year when I return for two weeks every summer.

Holly and Duffy are in fine shape. I have had the same pet sitter for 5
years. She comes in twice a day to feed, groom, and play with my furbabies.
She said Duffy was his usual friendly self from the very first day, and
Holly generally stared at her with a "you're NOT my momma" look but did not
object to her attentions. Both of them have been all over me ever since I
arrived home this evening.

My own mother is also doing well. She had been in and out of the hospital
recently, so the whole trip was problematic for awhile. My sister and I
went to the nursing home to see her as soon as we arrived home. She was
delighted to see us. She was more tired than usual, but she was lucid and
communicative. She is 91 years old and has been basically bed-ridden for
more than 5 years, but she has remained remarkably cheerful for most of that
time. She also has all of her motherly instincts intact even though she
suffers from dementia (substantial short-term memory loss). She always
tells us how much she loves us, tells me to be sure to get enough rest, and
tells me she does not want to "impose" on me. She tells both my sister and
me that we are "beautiful" every single time we see her. I am really
grateful to have had such loving parents. (My father died a number of years
ago, but he was equally loving and supportive.)

Again, thanks for asking about my absence. I'm glad to be able to report
that it was for happy reasons and not due to any problems.

It is good to know you were having fun. There have been so many problems
around the country, I was concerned. Best wishes. MLB
