I’ll be scarce around here for the next few weeks as we prepare for a special visitor. This special someone will be arriving sometime at the end of the week. We eagerly await a phone call to tell us when (day and time) to pick him up. He’ll only be around for a couple of weeks, so this time will be very precious.
