You are all welcome whenever you think you can make it. Just $2,000 and thirty hours on a jet and all this can be yours!

My dad says he'll come visit when he can go by train. The idea of being packed into a plane for all those hours seems to bother him.

My mother won't even entertain the idea. She doesn't mind the plane. She hates the heat, bugs, and snakes. It doesn't matter that we rarely see a snake, the cockroaches don't come into play because the geckoes (sp?) eat them when they are young, and we do have air conditioning. Sigh. She has always gone to visit my siblings when THEY bought new houses... Grumble. grumble, gripe, gripe.

Today they are supposed to deliver the refrigerator and stove.
