We are so blessed to have mom with us in Florida !The weekend of May 18th we took mom by train from Pittsburgh, PA to Orlando, FL and then drove to Tampa where she will be living with us.
From Pittsburgh to Philadelphia we had a nice ride with comfortable seats and a great view of the scenery. Unfortunately the nice ride ended in Philadelphia. The station and subsequent trip was reminiscent of a 1940's 'Dr. Who' episode (it still looked like it did back in the 40's) and a 'Twilight Zone' episode from the 1960's (the ride was herky jerky back and forth, numerous 'thunks, and going so fast we through we were going to derail) and no one seemed to notice but us ! Mom did exceptionally well and managed to sleep the night through on the train while Val & I struggled to get a couple hours in.
Jessica (Val's daughter) picked us up in Orlando and had flowers for my mom which was simply awesome !
Mom's been adjusting pretty well. Continue to pray for us in our 'adjustment period' and as we get mom hooked up with a good doctor here, get her insurance taken care of, take care of her house, etc.
Very special thanks to my beautiful, drop dead gorgeous wife Valerie as she has welcomed mom with open arms and loves on her like I do. You are more beautiful every day !
