Mari,
I am on theway out the door to work, but I wanted to tell you I was thinking of you. Labor day is a summer of happy memories and days away. if I couldgive you anything it would be tons of happiness between now and then so thaqt even the visit could not stress them away,

I am glad at least they are staying in a motel, the reasons they choose it, I guess they know. But it will place less stress for you. I guess your sistermust mean well, but man sisters can be maddening, especially when they lack information or words. You did give a good thought though.

Enjoy whatyou can, plan some activities that will make you happy. Make memories. My parents are gone several years now, but I remember family trips, picnics, holidays. The bad stuff just doesn;t seem improtant anymore enough to bemy first memories.

Love and hugs to you.
Di
