Beth, I am so glad you posted. I was wondering about you yesterday as I hadn't seen you post in a while.

Your post did bring tears to my eyes. I know how much you want to see and visit the ocean as it has been discussed in other threads. What a caring and wonderful friend you have. That was very thoughtful.

It's amazing how simple gestures like this can pull us out of a funk.

Heck, I'm still willing to meet you in San Diego this summer. The temps are perfect and it's not too humid.
