Thanks for those words of encouragement LTL. I feel that I must take her whether I like it or not, just so I won't be a wet-blanket kind of mom. I'm going to let her take a friend too, if she wants to, and I booked us a room at the Eastland. What fun we'll have.

I supposed, for the record, it's worth noting the warmth and beautiful sunshine. God it's good to see it.
