There truly are Angels among us. Your post is testimony to

that. So very glad your dad was found and unharmed.

Keep the faith and Kia Kaha (stay strong).

Donna,

WOW, that sounds a lot more yummy than the prune juice, gritty and

thick stuff and not to forget the suppos. Ha, Harv loves ice

cream, chocolate syrup/chocolate of any kind realy. He is also very

fond of nuts, I think next time THAT is what he will get.

Thanks so much for the help and words, I just joined a few day's ago

and can not begin to expres how I feel about this site. When did it

start and what very wise person started it, do you know.

Hugs,

Bettie
