Okay, I'm gonna try to play catch-up on some postings I shoulda been doing all along. No thanks to LJ having a case of the butt when I did try. Anyway, enough of that, let us see if there is to be some success

The challenges of having someone you love have Alzheimer's are many, tug at you. Evan is a delight. I'm glad you got to meet him! The roundabouts are confusing to anyone who doesn't drive them on a regular basis. There are a couple in the Twin Cities; each time I come across one, I feel like I'm taking my life in my hands, because I don't know the rules. One item that stuck out to me was your use of the word Dad for your father in law. It flowed so easily, very unselfconscious. It made me happy. There is no doubt how solid Jeff and you are. Have a Happy 2013!
Evan's poor Versa took a beating on this trip - poor thing! The off-ramp lanes here aren't much better than the roundabouts you have I'm afraid.
I assume you are talking about the area around Lancaster County. I grew up in Delaware and have many fond memories of the parental units taking me there. I would always order chicken and dumplings (a favored dish for 10-year-old me) at a restaurant in Lancaster. Mom was a Southern Belle so that dish was kind of foreign to her. I think the deal was mom got to shop at Lord and Taylor and I got a ride on the Monorail at Dutch Wonderland on the way home...
What a sweet post and it sounds like, technical issues on the home front notwithstanding, both you and Jeff seem to be happy and reasonably healthy and in good spirits.
I love posts like this.
yeah, roundabouts are tricky when you don't know the rules, they are legion here too.
Some are single lane roundabouts in neighborhoods, but 2 lane affairs where not, like College Way in Olympia, they are two lane and they are made so the inner lane can allow you to do a full circle to make a left turn, or to continue straight on ahead, the outer lane allows you to turn right, or go straight ahead, and you yield to enter for both.
It's like 4 way stops without lights, people often don't know that rule either.

I can't stand roundabouts, thankfully they are very few and far between out here.
