I'm so glad that I have found a friend in Australia, my hubby will be thrilled!!! LOL My hubby has done 4 tours in Iraq, and of course before that they were going to Kuwait & everywhere else under the sun... Monterey is so beautiful, it was amazing to live there for 2 years, and cannery row has some of the BEST restaurants!!! I'm sorry to hear about your son-in-law, I hope he doesn't have to have surgery... No I'm not familiar w/the trial of Dr. Patel, but that is crazy scary just the same. I have two kids a son who is 18, and my daughter is 12. We also have a grandson Marcus who is 22 months old. It's hard to believe that I'm a grandmother, but we absolutely adore him!!!
