We missed you last month.....I think you were on vacation....the old saying when it rains it pours....you can attest to that....sending prayers that your surgery will be uneventful and successful....also so sorry to hear about your husbands medical problems, (and we thought that taxes only stressed us)....hoping a sppedy recovery for him as well, and health in the future, and oh how busy you must bee with the wedding...I remember when my daughter was married...seems like everything falls on the mother of the brides shoulders....take care of yourself Rina, you need your strength for the surgery, can't wait till we are having a giant salad in Oakbrook again!!!! Sending love and prayers....you will be a beautiful mother of the bride!!!!

Thanks Sheila for your lovely reply. My husbands heart attack preempted our after tax season vacation this year as it happened two days before we were to leave. Vacation Smation.....at least I have him with me still and that out weighs importance of any vacation. His heart attack was the same kind that Tim Russett suffered so we feel blessed and thankful he pulled through. Someone was watching over him for sure. Look forward to another get together after the wedding...one week to go!
