Quick and short:

My loving husband took me to the beach for just a few minutes late this afternoon. He knows that I am nearest to the heart of God while there. And, yes, this goofy old woman you see here is a good picture of how it makes me feel.

I talked to my dad - my mom is improving and he feels she may be coming home soon. But, while on the phone with him, my sister-in-law tried to call (I know she must have been at the nursing home with my mom) so I could talk with my mother. I couldn't hang up on my dad to talk with my mom, so I missed talking with her. Maybe tomorrow?
