Mary,

You really have a lot of things planned! I hope you are somewhat like me -- the more activity I have (especially when I need to be part of the planning or am responsible for making it happen) the less I seem to hurt. It's like the distraction of being involved in something important keeps my mind off of the RSD, arthritis, and other things.

How many house guests are you going to have? Or, are they staying at area hotels? I hope it is not too much of a strain.

Sounds like a lot of fun, though. Let's hope they get your floor done in time. That could be interesting, having floor installers there with your guests.

Mike
