Well it has been a long time since I have been here and lots have happened and will try to catch up a little at a time. The Gentleman that we have taken care of for the last three years went to see his loved ones in heaven a few weeks ago and we sure do miss him but know that he was ready to go and he didn't have to lay and suffer for a long time for which we are thankful. What a wonderful family and we feel so fortunate to have know them.
       We traded the pickup off and now have a mini van and we love it. I hated to see the pickup go but think Carl was ready to trade as it was his idea.
       We got a new dining room set and we are enjoying that. Shelly got a different job at Mayo and is driving in every day now. She no longer works from home and that is good for her as she will meet some people her own age instead just us old people.
       The plans are now to take a little trip this summer some time probably in early July. We are going to have our Great Grandson here the last of May and Grandson Jake is coming down the first part of June and we are all going to San Diego, CA. for about four days so that all is going to be fun. I am having my 70th this year and Shelly and Carl seemed to think that I needed a party to realize that I was getting old. What they don't know is I can tell that already when I get up and down LOL.
