Greetings to all our friends who have written to us and to whom we have been so slow to answer.
Life has been a 3-ring circus in this New Year, but we are beginning to see the light. Special thanks to our middle child, Serena, who has stayed here and has been more or less the chief cook and taxi driver to the hospital and the familiar physician's office. Our other children have also been very helpful with their letters and visits.
I really don't want to elaborate on all this and really bore you. January brought a trip to the hospital for a breast biopsy and February with additional surgery. In between surgery we took a three-week trip to the area of Phoenix, Tucson, and San Diego. I Phoenix we saw daughters Roberta (and husband Sid) and Catherine (and husband Gerry and daughter Wendy). Our son, John, his wife Julie and children Kate (6) and Andrew (1.5) in Newark, Ohio, have been down and helped to refill our "larder".
The first of March a fall backward off a step ladder/stool caused a compression fracture in my spine. I am slowly doing much better. This week-end Harold, daughters Serena and Roberta (who is coming from Phoenix) and I plan to go to Somerset, Kentucky to see Mary Virginia (the youngest daughter) and two children Ginny (7) and Christian (2). Her husband, Don, is on a 10-day trip to Belize with a college class he is teaching. This weekend Mary Virginia's church (First United Methodist in Somerset where she is music director) is dedicating their new grand (both in size and sound) piano.
Life is getting more back on track. This Thursday I am having my left eye operated on for cataracts and at the end of April, the right eye will get the treatment. Harold says that from his personal experience, it is simple, quick and painless. So life should be "looking" even better when that is over.
