Well, I texted my future SIL and he called me right away. He’s going to handle getting a back-up plan in place, while I pray for Kate’s speedy recovery. I was afraid to lay it on my daughter. I advised him to talk to his oldest sister about how best to handle it all. She is the family go to person for these kinds of things and he readily agreed. There has been some drama from that end, too.
Used panniers on the bicycle for ten years after we were married. Then we got a second car.

I’ll bet Michelle’s dinner
Is all high calorie courses
Flower prints makes her butt
Look like my neighbor’s horses’
Hillary don’t wear that stuff
But those pants are the same
Her hips look like panniers-
A fashion mess by any name
Does either of them even look
In a mirror at their fat rear-
Stop eating everything in sight
And invest in some exercise gear
