Noodle had said she and Dan were coming to MO to visit her dad and wanted me to come down and see them.I just got back from having a great visit.Dan is quickly getting back to his old self,can't hear a damn word.He still has a little pain but has put on weight and looks pretty good for an ugly guy,while Noodle is herself,whistling and dancing on her toes.Just kiddin' guys,I love ya both.I really did enjoy the visit and the super meal Noodle cooked or sent out for,I can't remember which now.Anyway,the sad news is,they will not be able to attend the hunt in Oct.They will be missed.I gave Noodle heck for not chirpin' in here often enough like she should be doing and she said she would try and say 'hi' more often.They had well wishes for all.Dan said he's been telling her that they need another LBH,Noodle uttered an expletive.They are two great people and friends and I surely enjoy kibbitsing with them.
