Thanks Lynn and Bob.
I feel the same as you do, Bob. My silver lining thinking that my sister &
family will pull together is hopeful thinking at its best. They have some
issues (like many of us, I suspect), and this will test them as a couple and
as a family. I'm being positive when I say that things will be okay.
I didn't hear anything today which meant she didn't learn anything more
about his job. I'm concerned. It's one thing to look for a job in a decent
economy and another during the times we're in now. The other thing is the
Applebee's restaurants might not be doing much better.
