Time to Visit; Blog Vacation; Send Pictures

Time to Visit I:
Doug and Mark, who visit every Saturday, are going to New Mexico. Dad is going to the Cotharn Family Reunion, in Robinson, TX.

Blog Vacation:
I am driving to watch this trombonist:

play Euphonium in the DCI National Championships, in Madison, WI. I will be visiting these cowgirls:
And these Cowboys: Time to Visit II:
M-F, Mom rehabs from 7:30 to 3:30. You are welcome to visit between 3:30 and 6:30(when Mom likes to shower, and prep for bed). You can have dinner with Mom, if you are there at approx. 5:00 pm. Pate will provide dinner for guests.

Sat and Sun, Mom has no rehab, and no plans. You can visit any time of day, and you can spend the night on her Sitting Room couch-bed, which accomodates two people. You can shower in her fancy handicapped shower, and dry yourself with plush towels from Wooten. You can share breakfast, lunch, or dinner with Mom. Pate has cards and dominoes available, along with excellent playing tables. They have coffee, iced tea, and lemonade. Mom's fridge is stocked with Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper, and homemade fudge.

If you're driving out from Weatherford, you can miss all traffic by driving to Denton, then taking Hwy 380 across to US 75, and then go N to exit 45. If you're driving in from Little Rock, you can hit Hwy 380 northeast of Dallas (off I-30, at Greenville) and miss all the Dallas traffic. Heck, Mom is almost in Texarkana already. In fact, during a spate of delirious road hypnosis, I realized how Anna got it's name: Anna is 1/3 of the way to Texarkanna.

Send Pictures:
On one wall of Mom's Sitting Room, we want to hang pictures of cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. However, we have almost zero pictures of cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. We need some Posts, Cotharns, Helgasons, Schwartinskis, Stringers, Lillards, et al. Please send pictures. You can postal mail pictures to Mom in Anna, or email pictures to me (addresses on sidebar). I will print emailed pics onto photo paper, then frame them.

Arrivederci!
I'll post if anything big happens. At this point, we want to see boring, boring, steady, steady progress - nothing big! A lack of news is good news. A boring blog is a good thing.
