We were heading out to Uncle Lou’s one night to visit him. He lived way out in the middle of the country, and he was pretty up there in age so he didn’t do a lot of driving. Needless to say, he was lonely. I felt like we should go out there more often, butWe were heading out to Uncle Lou’s one night to visit him.

I felt like we should go out there more often, but we have busy schedules and time doesn’t always allow for us to take hours out of the day to trip off and do whatever we want. Believe you me, I wish that it did! He told me that he would take care of dinner, so that was nice.
