Take Care

Hi Cort,

I hope you are feeling better and really enjoy your events. I did miss you on the board. Take care!

 

[Les]

Hope you're feeling much better now...especially before all the events you have scheduled!

 

[LUVMyBirman]

Get better soon Cort! You have alot scheduled.

Gosh, I recall touring the Volo Museum as a child with my father. He's real old now, but loves that stuff. Have to ask him the make of his old convertible. It was very cool Banana yellow.

Love to meet you...but we are booked solid this weekend. Would have been nice to take our daughter along.

On the vet fest.........hummmmmmmm may be a possibility! Tracy grew up in a household with a vet enthusiast. 'His father'. If I am not mistaken, he had 10 or so at any given time. He would show up with a new baby unannounced, lol. Boy....his mother must have been forgiving. Too bad some of those oldies were not passed down. Wouldn't mind having one myself to tool around in on warm days. Let's just say....it's not practical right now.

So.....looks like I will be driving the school bus for a few more years, lol

Awww...you guys and gals are great .

Dave:
I'm feeling better now...well, at least for now. I'm on Z-pak ... and that ends on Friday. So, we'll see....

He he he...sometimes it amazes me, too, how much I get out and about...but, well...it's better than the alternative . And, thank you .


Betty:
Awww...I've missed you, too . Heh...I'm still very glad you opted to come join us the last evening of the reunion, even after you were already in your night clothes .


BL:
Heh...yep, feeling better before those events would be helpful, wouldn't it? LOL! So far so good, I think


Gina:
Banana yellow? Hmm...this oughta be interesting to find out what it was.....

Too bad you are booked solid.... Sometimes, tho, the best weekends are the "altered plans" ones ... hint hint hint...LOL!

As for your inlaws, sounds like that is the type of wife I should be searchin' for . LOL! I hear ya about not being practical right now, but heh...if you had even just one of 'em, I'm sure you'd make it work...I know I would .

Do keep me posted about your plans for the Vette Fest. Sounds like that is the one event that many people are considering coming, too. I'm not sure yet which day I'll be going...right now it looks like Sunday works the best for the most people, but we shall see .


On other notes.......

10 months ago tomorrow....was my 3rd OHS. So very hard to believe.

12 months ago tomorrow...was my last day at work before my grandmother's memorial service

And....aye....work issues starting to bug me, too .

*sighs*

I am so a hopin' that my follow-up with the cardiologist, etc., turn out with good news tomorrow .
