My daughter phoned to say she'd gotten on the computer and found me a plane ticket to visit in Texas--for 11 days. About three days at a time is all I had planned if I went to visit. I love my two daughters and grand baby and want so much to see them, but my daughter's husband who is a loony, says God talked to him and said this would happen.

Instead of saying you girls and your mother get together and
enjoy yourselves; I'll look after the store and MY mother-- no, he wants to insert himself right in the middle of the time my girls and I would have together. He and I detest each other and he wants to cause a hullabaloo. I refuse to go through those scenes again. I just finally decided after all these years I will not go through his temper tantrums again.

My daughter knows I can't go away from home for that long for several reasons I won't go into here. Just as a courtesy, she should have asked when it would be convenient for me to fly over, and how many days I could stay. They backed out of coming over to get me and taking me back--two long arduous trips was too much for all of us. Besides, I was leery of getting over there and them backing out of getting me back home. I'm getting too disabled to thumb a ride.

Oh well, the course of true love and family relations never did run smooth-apologies to Shakespeare. susil
