I'm glad sis_R is coming home, and certainly hope the new regime does her some good, long- or short-term. it's great you were able to see her (even if you couldn't spend as much time with her as would have been wished; and I'm sure her kitties appreciated the love and company.

here's wishing you a peaceful drive and a good time at Escapade. I'm hoping to be able to spend a little time (if you're in the mood) - it would be grand to 'meet' you in person, and I'll buy you coffee or a drink. but if you're not up to socializing with folks you don't know well, I completely understand. I'll follow your cues.
