Mercy, love the village people comment. What a hoot. Your post made me miss my mom. I recall dong the running around stuff with her too and it was such a treat. Treasue these days girlfriend.

While you were out running around with Mom, I was with my dad for part of the day. I took him to get his eyes examined by Ross while I had my teeth cleaned right around the corner. Then we went to lunch with Ross. It was sweet. I absolutely love spending time with my dad. H'es so easy to be around. Sometimes I call him when I'm running errands to Sam's Club or wherever and he'll come along for the ride. Heaven help all of us when something happens to him. All five of his kids call him almost every day becasue he's such a pleasure. Some people think it's weird but why not? I think I'll start a topic about how often we speak to our parents...
