Kim & Matt,
We were so glad to get your message that Matt is home.
Because Dee and Wendy don't check email all that often, I took the
liberty of calling them after we got your email. Wendy said Darcy
called
her asking for your number, but they played telephone tag--Darcy left a
message and then Wendy had to leave a message.
We thought of the car last night, and very quickly came to the same
conclusion you did--it can wait.
I suspect many of the buildings that survived yesterday's attacks may
have severe structural damage. While getting the market back up and
running as a symbol of stability is a laudable idea, one hopes that it
won't be done in a way that endangers more lives.
So that it won't catch you unaware, we're taking a vacation next week.
We plan to leave Saturday and aren't sure when we'll be back, but
probably not later than the 22nd. Bobbie Caetano and her sister are
going to be in East Texas visiting family, and we plan to meet them for
dinner one evening. She had planned on coming to San Antonio, but it's
about 600 miles round trip--not something to do when you only have
about
five days in the first place.
Keep taking care of each other.
Love,
Mom
