Flying to Florida

Today. Mom has some health concerns and has decided to move to an assisted living facility. She wants to leave Florida after 20 years and move to Kentucky near my brothers. Jim is an RN and his better half is a NP. Since my Dad passed nearly 20 years ago she's occupied herself with travel and friends at her Adult community. Now her traveling days are at a close and well, her friends are passing on.Mom's asked us all , four brothers and one sister, to get her affairs in order for her so we're all going to her house. From Hawaii to Cape Cod. It's a wonder what times we live in and what's possible. Anyway, be back in a week or so, so wish my Mother and the 5 of us luck, please, it'll help.

Fred - good luck to all of you and especially to your mom. Even though a couple brothers are rednecks (one southern one far nawth) she raised some pretty good kids
