We are leaving for pickup

I can't believe we are leaving tomorrow morning I also have to say I can't believe Memo is coming home today. WOW. I will update when we return and I will check in when I can while I am there. God bless everyone and I will keep you all in my prayers that good news comes your way.

Christine
