Just thought I'd update this blog a little since Carl/Dad/Grandpa says he's run out of things to say. Not that I'm a fountain of information but I'll try.
My brother Richard had a mild stroke about 3 weeks ago. He was very fortunate to get to the hospital so quickly. He's pretty much completely recovered now. The Dr. has released him to drive again.
Then right after he got home his wife Sue had some sort of heart episode and was in the hospital for a week undergoing all sorts of tests but they haven't been able to find anything wrong. All this was right after they had a sewer backup and overflow in their basement. Thank heavens they have good homeowner's insurance because fixing all the damage and replacing stuff that was ruined is going to run aboud $30,000. WOW!!
Friday we received word that our good friend's daughter Lori Arion died in San Diego. We' ve known Lori for 44 years. She was only 1 year old when we first met the Arions. She had MS for the last 20 someodd years and her death was sort of expected but it was still hard. No parent expects to outlive their child.
And now Carla is coming up on her surgery on the 24th. Hopefully she will recover quickly and feel better once they take out some stuff and put her other innerds back where they're supposed to be.
Carl/Dad/Grandpa has been feeling better lately. He can't stand or walk any better but overall I think he's feeling better. He's been staying up later, beating me at Scrabble, etc.
I've just been hanging around staying out of trouble. Still hitting the garage sales every weekend but I may have to stop. We're running out of room. Everytime I go out I find something for the house and then I have to come home and move everything around to make room for it - and that's a lot of made up work which it just occurred to me that I could avoid if I JUST STAYED AWAY FROM GARAGE SALES.
We're looking forward to hopefully meeting our newest granddaughter-in-law when Josh and Stephanie come home in July. I know they're going to be busy and time is limited but hopefully Steph will get to meet us all.
We sure enjoy all the grandchildren's blogs - being able to keep up with everyone and watching the little one's grow.
Well, as the Ames says - I'm done talking now, I'm leaving. Love you all.

Hey Grammy, thanks for updating your blog! I'm glad I checked it because I had stopped checking it regularly cuz Gramps is a slacker!
Well, I think I'm going to TRY to come when Josh is there. I have no time off work so it would just be over 4th of July weekend. We'll see what happens!
Love yous both!
