VACATION!!!
Cheryl and I are heading off to Florida tomorrow for a week of shell collecting, eating at Cracker Barrel, and hunting down key lime pie. Her brother, Larry Bickerton, who is a dentist in Nelson, BC, will be coming to stay at our house and to be the medical liaison for her father, who is still in the hospital here in Turlock. That is much appreciated.

We went to Florida last fall (the last time we took any real time off) and decided that there was so much exploring that we didn't get to do that we'd go back. We're not planning to visit the Mouse (or any of his related theme parks) but we do want to visit the Space Center.

At the tailend of the trip I have a couple of days of Covenant Ministerium meetings scheduled in Miami. That worked out nicely.
