For Indy about his Mom and also for Burgo with his job and his wife being ill.

Sending you guys warm hugs.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

Thanks Trevor. My wife was very ill for a couple of days, but she came home today and seems to have improved. She should be as good as new in a few days.

I appreciate it, my friend.
We're laying her to rest tomorrow, and I've been asked to give a brief eulogy.
I hope I can get through it without breaking down.

Warm South African hugs to you and your family.

I did something a little strange on the 16th: there's a shop near me which sells international cold drinks and sweets, so I bought a Dr Pepper - your brand - and had it. Cold, refreshing and ZAR20.00 for a 12 ounce can!  :smile:

Pricey!

Well, Mom's funeral service was beautiful and deeply personal and comforting.
And then, the next day, a tornado ripped the roof off of the church where we held it!

That, and a number of members who are carpenters and construction workers.  They were already working on repairs within 2 hours of the storm rolling through!  The town has really pulled together, I must say.
