Marie,
I read your posts all the time (though I am a habitual "lurker") and had to tell you how uplifting it is to read about how well Ed is doing. And good for you to make so many plans...I hope you get to do everything that you want to do! I like to make plans as if I am going to be here to participate in those fun times.
