The Friday snow was a really big deal here in the south, 8 inches for the Nashville area...roads closed, icy travel conditions, people stranded...about the norm for when it snows down here!

LOL @ Herman. It is a bizarre syndrome and was only discovered a few years ago. No one knew what was wrong with him. At 16, he almost died from an aortic aneurysm and we traveled to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore to get the diagnosis...an ordeal for sure. He's lived much longer than they anticipated, which is a great thing! Thank you again!

I’m so sorry that you had to cancel your outings and hope that you were able to reschedule. And I hope your son is doing well….it just hurts us so much when they hurt, and you are so right.
