Jim- <P>Welcome Home! Glad that you really had a chance to Veg Out, relax, do what sounds like some really neat things and of course...be with your children.<P>Your children have their observations and see the changes that have occured in your wife and you are right...they are just not little babes anymore and are seeing the reality of what exists in their life firsthand-andy they are telling you about their feeling as well.<P>I'm hopeful your children had as great of time as you did just growing on the vine.<P>We all did miss your daily welcomes and your solid and helping hand introduction to all that first visit this site.<P>Yes...your assistants did one heck of a job and they jumped right in to take up the slack in NSR style.<P>So...again...great to have you back and so glad that you took some time for self-care for Jim and smelled the roses!<P>mrrlk<P>

Hey! I was just thinking of you yesterday!!<P>glad your back.<P>Children are soo wise.....<BR>Miniture people....<P>Mercy

Welcome home New Sun Rising,<P>Glad you've enjoyed your vacation with the kids, though the part about <B>The Shining</B> was a bit eerie <P>You have been missed, however, many people tried to fill in for you, even some of the old-timers pros came out of semi-retirement to help out. Just a tell-tale sign of your importance on these boards, you're an inspiration to many and a life saver for many a newcomer.<P>I hope you feel refreshed and refueled

NSR:<P>Thank God you're back---now I can go back to semi-retirement...<P> <P>

Welcome back, NSR. I am glad you are back and that you had a great time on your much deserved and much needed vacation.<P>Remember Jack Nicholson axed through the bathroom door and said (in a menacing, manical way as only Nicholson can) "Honey, I'mmmm home"...... or was that "Heere's Johnny!" <P>Well, Honey, you're home. And we are all glad you are! You were missed.<P>Catnip =^^=

Hey Jim,<P>You'll have to give me some pointers as the kids and I have a trip to FL lined up in June. We're flying down and staying with some friends we haven't seen in 5 yrs.<P>I'm planning on renting a convertible too!!<P>Glad you are refreshed.<P>Bob

Welcome back!! I was wondering why you were not posting and read that you were on Vacation. Glad you had a good time.<P>Great one for the little one. I can totally relate to this for my 8 yr old D told me the other day that her dad has lost his brain and needs a new one.<P>Great to have you back.
