Thanks Ron and hello all. I called Mom on Sunday right after I first opened this, lest it get too late.

She's in her late 80's now, but still sharp as a tack. Or so it seems as my own mind slips.

She still drives (better than she walks) and took the time to, once again, pat me on the back for repainting the roof on her car. When one is a woman her age, vanity and modesty are perhaps everything, and she can't possibly be seen with peeled paint. Besides, I'm sure there are those bragging rights about "fine sons", when she offers rides to her envious contemporaries. I hope she quits driving on her own, when the time comes. Should have offered her a racing stripe.

Wes
