Saturday Evening....February 9th, 2008

Day 18 of 21 Days....3 days to sunshine!

Linda had a "depressing" day...her emotions were always floating right near the surface...she cannot identify a specific reason for it..it happens once in a while....we think it is the length and the depth and the magnitude of what she's been up against. Sometimes this all "sneaks" up on her....it's a time for her to be gentle with herself...and for me to be gentle (er) with her too. Of course, making her watch all the NASCAR stuff today at Daytona most likely was the underlying cause (just kidding).

I'll be at the Daytona 500 race next weekend....Linda gave up her ticket to brother Mick....last year she gave it up to brother Darron....you'd think she doesn't care about not going (it's true.....she's an open wheel ONLY fan).

Tomorrow is our last day at home for two months...so it'll be a day of packing and all...and a bit of final cleaning. Monday morning we pick up our car rental and head to Portland for a very early Tuesday am flight.

Have a great time in Florida! The change of scenery, the mild weather and your home there will give you both a boost.... mentally and physically.
I made the mistake of calling Scott today during the "race" so I asked to talk to Marissa right away. She is 6 1/2 and told me she had to hang up because the race was almost over. Shows where I rate.
Love and prayers, Cousin Ruth

So very glad it's almost time for you two to hit the road. You need this time of sunshine and palm trees.

Hang tough, Linda. You'll feel better soon.

Love to you both, as always.

Have a safe and wonderful trip down to FL... the sunny weather is waiting for both of you. :) Hang in there, Linda... we know it has been a really long and hard journey, but you have been a trooper through all of it (so have you, Dave).

Enjoy the 500 next weekend, Dave. Am so glad to see someone rooting for Jeff Gordon. :)

Take care... and enjoy your trip!

Love,
Jim and Swee
