It has been an up and down week

Last Tuesday Sylvia and I went to Florida to visit our mother. We had a great trip there and back. Our visit went well and we saw many family members. We had dinners with Sally and Joyce and another with Bert & Roger, Rod, Kevin and his family. Kevins kids are getting so big it was almost hard recognizing them. Kailanie is 11 and Lucas is 16.

Wednesday Jack was admitted to the hospital with a sinus infection and had surgery for an abcess which developed behind his eye. His eye had swollen shut and they had place a drain in the abcess to drain it. I can't post a picture of him because cameras were banned by him. : ) Max got to spend a few days with his Grandpa while Jen spent the entire time at the hospital with Jack. They had a private room with a shower and a chair that opened into bed.

Saturday our nephew Dave married his longtime girlfriend Stacy. I wish that I had been able to attend but you know how it is -go away once a year and thats when they throw the party. : )

Sunday morning my good friend for over 25 years Linda Haines died suddenly. Her memorial service is being held tomorrow. Linda taught me everything I know about using a computer and was my own private tech support. She will be greatly missed.

And finally to end on a good note. Alyssa turned 10 yesterday. She is such a sweetheart. She both pretty and smart and she loves God.
