Update from Mom Nov 24

Hi Blog Readers,

It's been a pretty quiet week so there is not much to write about.

My friends from Oregon, Richard & Joyce Jones, arrived on Wednesday so I was happy to see them. Richard has already helped with a couple of tasks that I can't do myself so I told them I'd probably make a pest of myself.

Thursday was Thanksgiving and I spent a very nice day with friends at Leisure World. In the evening I stopped in at Ed & Norine's and saw a few more friends that had just arrived. I had calls and emails from quite a few blog readers--thank you.

Friday, Gary & Aline Kranz from Amboy, Minnesota called to tell me that they are now in their place down here. Hope to see them one of these days.

Saturday, my mentor and friend, Margaret Gruetzner stopped by to greet me. They are from Canada and she was one of my saviors last year. She took me shopping ever so many times and was there for me in every way that matters. They arrived last week but now are heading back to Canada because George is ill. He had a triple bypass a few days ago and now will go back home to recuperate. I will miss them oh so very much.

I went to church this morning at 6:45 and the temperature was 45 degrees. That is pretty cool. Now it has warmed up and I just finished my walk and I am wearing shorts so it doesn't stay cool very long.

I am looking forward to visiting Lorn & Kitty Schneeberger this week. They are down here spending a couple of weeks with their daughter, Karen and family. Lorn is Marland's cousin and they live at Elbow Lake, Mn.

In 16 days I will be flying back to Minnesota for the holidays. I'll be home a month so hope the weather will not be too harsh. I'm lonesome so being with family will be a good thing.


Love, LaVerne
