Mary Ellen What a great gift. I need to order hubby a phone like this. He absolutely cannot operate a smartphone which I consider totally weird but he's who he is.....I'm sure your parents will love their gift.

Mary Ellen Weve been having crazy weather in Kentucky also, but we always have. But I enjoy the cooler weather so I'm always happy to need to wear leggings and hoodies. I don't like the rain though, regardless of an umbrella.
