So Long, Farewell

Our niece Amanda and her son came to see her mother (Bob's sister Della) for a few days.  Amanda's husband Rober has gotten orders to Brussells and they'll be leaving in a few weeks.  While we do hope to go visit them there, it will probably be more than a year before we see them again so we went to Mexico Beach to visit.  We had some laughs, told stories about Bob's parents, walked the beach, and played soccer (I told Dane that he'll have to learn "real" football if he's going to live in Europe.  Dane will be 8 years old in May--and has grown a bit since the first time we met him, at a week old and 1 1/2 pounds.
