Elizabeth and I were winding down last evening when the phone rang. She answered it and let me know that my nephew, Shane, was on the way to see us!! He is on a four day leave to see his mom, and I never expected that he would come over before he left. I had seen him a couple months back in the Atlanta airport, and just figured that he had many places to be while here such a short time. He and his mom were here almost two whole hours!  Merle had been over at his folks, and was able to be here most of the time. Was really very special for us!
