You're funny, Jack! I remember my retired friends telling me they couldn't keep track of the days either. Now that I'm retired, if I don't have things schedules, it's hard to remember what day, week, year it is...<g> And if I don't write my schedule down, forget it. When I have an appointment now, I tell them to call me the day before. Makes everyone a lot happier when you don't skip appts. Good to hear from you again......boy, I'll bet there was a lot of tobacco juice with all those dead grasshoppers <g> Jan ----- Original Message ----- From: <jscott@parkspringscommunities.com> To: <IADECATU-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 2:11 PM Subject: [IADECATU] weather and such > RU on vacation?
