January 2011


This picture is just a little part of my Cherokee heritage, my great grandfather on my mother's side was a full blooded Cherokee. Although, the Cherokees don't care much for bloodlines, mostly they follow geneology via names.

We are in the middle of January and one thing I can say, winter has been on the mild side. Our elevation gives us very cold nights, otherwise it would be like Fall in most parts of the country. We are looking at about 10 days of 60+ - 70+ weather, very nice. I am due to receive some books from my bookclub, and I plan to sit outside and read my books, fun time!

I have been watching "In-Session" on tv lately. I am fascinated by the trial currently underway where the Arab doctor murdered his Italian-American wife by lacing her calcium caps with cyanide.:(

Otherwise, all is about the same here. I'm a little concerned about Floyd's memory, think I had better talk with his doctor about it. Which reminds me, our best friends David and Betty Watson have left for Fresno, CA where they will live with one of David's grandsons. Apparently this grandson really wants them there and has the room and funds to be able to care for them. Betty has Alzheimer's and David has lung cancer, so, crap happens with us old folks. Makes me want to cry but David is tough and I have no doubt that if this doesn't work out, he will just make other arrangements.

I am looking forward to this coming week and the milder weather. I always love the sunshine.

It is really hard to get news like that about friends, family, or, for heaven's sake, ourselves, isn't it? How nice that his grandson is so generous and caring.

Enjoy the nice weather! It isn't as warm here, but beautifully sunny and mild. Niiiiiice.

The worst part of aging, I think..losing your friends. I know we all have to go through it, but still it makes me sad.
