Hi Grandma!You must be wondering about me – yesterday when I cleaned out my desk I found 2 letters I had written to you but never mailed. As you can tell – my desk really needed a good cleaning!
We have really been busy at work – getting ends tied up from last year – and getting it all started – paperwork wise – for the new students coming in. The worst part of it is that there are no interruptions – so you just have to keep at it.
Marion is doing really good – she has been going to the pool w/us almost everyday. Doesn't really swim – but says the water really feels good. We usually go in about 5:00 pm – there are usually just a few people there then – and it's not so HOT out!
Any more the only cool part of the day is before 7:00 AM – now at night it just doesn't cool off that much!
Are the Hortons going to New Jersey w/ Rob – how much time did they spend in New Vienna? Rob will really like it at Hudson Guild – when do you plan to go up in July?
I've been consciously trying to grow fingernails – and its really a struggle for me!!
Every Thursday night for about 1 hour I've been going to a nursing home here in Mesa – to feed supper & talk to 1 particular patient – her name is Cora – she is pretty much confined to her bed – the 1st week I couldn't get her to talk at all – but now she is talking alot. I found out she loves dogs so I took a picture of Buffy down – then later took him down. She remembered his name – but has trouble remembering mine! This volunteer program is through the city of Mesa.
Really like the truck – but can't seem to remember to take a picture of it at the right time!
Love,
Berta
