Don't pay the ransom, I got away!

That's what hubby says if he comes home late from wherever he was (which is almost never!). He is a very on-time person! Wonder what that's like?!
Anyway, I haven't been kidnapped, just unable to post any new news because I've been busy with out of town company. Had the parents here for a week, which was nice. Got to visit a lot. They got to come see my office for the first time (yippee, I'm sure that was exciting!). I did get to show off my pretty, new Louise Dunavant picture that now hangs on my office wall, courtesy of a friend and his wife. It's a nice big one, about 28" x 32" or something like that, nicely matted and framed. It's called "A Greater Memphis" and when people come in and admire it, I get to tell them it's my hometown and that I used to work in "that" building right there (the UP building). The folks headed home this morning and took G'dad with them. He's been here with us for the whole month of February and January, with a 4 day break, when he went back home then came right back so we could go to his sister's funeral. He will probably be glad to be back home for awhile, then will be ready to come back here for awhile. Great that he can do that kind of traveling at 90+ years of age!
Well, it's been a hairy Monday, as they all are and I am about ready to call it a day. Plan to get to bed early tonight for a change! It's catching up with me. And I must get some rest tonight and tomorrow night, as Wed. and Thur. will be late nights - our missions conference starts Wed. and we'll probably not get home until about 9 p.m. both nights. But I'm excited about it - it is always a joy to attend. It is so encouraging and moving to hear and see what the missionaries are doing in different parts of the world. Makes me feel pretty inadequate to see how they turn their whole lives upside down to spread the gospel and I do so little in comparison! God bless 'em!
Ya'll take care and keep in touch. (I think this will be my shortest post, besides the first one anyway.)
