Another one of those "What a day!". Got up early and took Mom to Jackson to wound center. While Chris and I were sitting waiting on Mom, Jim calls and says his truck is done. We have known for alittle while now that it was getting time to overhaul the engine and we were hoping to be able to wait a few more weeks before taking it into Memphis but typical; it wouldn't wait so Jim met us in Jackson and we followed him to Memphis. It smoked all the way there but we made it. At least Mom got to see all the old mansions in Memphis. She loved them. So now, Jim is home for a week; no work, no pay. Oh well, that's the way it goes. Chris is so excited that Jim is going to be home with us every day. We are thinking about taking Chris fishing since we live right by the Tennessee River and have only fished once in 7 yrs. I guess we will get to enjoy some time spent doing those things that we never take time to do. Chris felt alot better today and other than being alittle sleepy this afternoon, he ate good and felt good. It has been a LONG day and we are all ready to go to bed.
