Hello :-)

I thought of doing this blog on my way home from the hospital the other day, where I had been visiting Mom. We seem to have so many people who want to know how things are, that I fear I will miss someone. And I know Al feels the same. It seems we either call people twice or not at all. For that, I apologize. My memory (and his)....it's not what it should be at the moment.

I wanted to write this blog so that those family and friends with a computer could keep in touch and know what was happening. I apologize if it seems rude and insensitive....I honestly do not mean it to be that way. For me, e-mail and the internet are "the" ways to keep in touch with people I care for - odd, perhaps, but valid in my world just the same. It does not mean the end of the phone calls or personal e-mails - but this will allow me to update everyone, even in the middle of the night, when I am up prowling, worrying...not sleeping. 'Cause I am fairly certain not one of you wants a call from me at 2 a.m. LOL!

For now, I will keep it short and simple. Feel free to post comments and leave your thoughts and wishes. Right now, it seems I am limited to 5 comments at a time, so, if you can't post one day, please come back and try again. Or e-mail us - the address is at the side.

Keep checking in. I will try to update a bit each day.

Best wishes.
