G'day, Ladies ...
Sherry will arrive on April 16th so we are planning a luncheon on April 17th in Mt. Airy, MD. After the luncheon (I personally am paying for everyone's lunch) we will come back to my house for a gathering of good times, great chatter & enjoyment. I'd like the gathering of we ladies to be around 12:30PM if it will work for you all. Final details will follow.
I have 2 extra beds & a couch for anyone who needs a stay over ... first come first serve.
We (Mt. Airy) are located just off Rt. 70 half way between Frederick & Baltimore.
I will need to know 2 weeks in advance of your coming for the restaurant reservations I've made. Please let me know ... we are so looking forward to meeting you all.
TTFN ~ Hugs, Marydon

Morning Lois,
What a nice picture of Phil. I bet that made your heart skip a beat!!
Nice to see he looks well, sorta smiling like you say. I know it really helped our friends when their son was in Iraq to be able to see him, cause you can tell a lot by their countenance.
It is good they keep them so busy in a way, cause they don't have time to think about home that much, course, I am sure it is still hard!
Hope you are feeling way better by now hon. I am sure the site of Phil perked you up a bit. That was a sweet surprise from your Heavenly Dad!!
Have a super day,
Thanks for sharing his Photo, it was nice for us to see too, since we pray for him all the time.
Love and Blessings sweet friend,
Nellie
