No Time for Plans

Just a quick note to say there is no way to plan in times like these. I had hoped to be able to stay home with my daughter for a while this summer before she leaves for college - but it looks like I'll be needed back at Terry's sooner than I had hoped. People offer to help, but simply cannot make the commitment needed - and i guess that's what being family is all about: Home is where they have to take you in (who said that anyway? Robert Frost, I think?) and family is where you turn for help when you need more than friends can do.

I think of my daughter, who is an only child. Who will she turn to in times of need?
