HT and I are on the mend and Pa has now started the coughing. Maybe by the end of the month all will be well.

My little brother called to tell me that dad got 2 stints put in during the heart cath. and is doing well. He gets to stay the night and if all goes well he goes home sometime tomorrow.

Today is little brothers birthday. Uncle Gick is 54.

He has had a very busy life. He's been a cowboy, packing his six guns like Wild Bill. He's built roads, racetracks and had more crash and burns then you could count. Baseball made him a star and football broke his jaw. His body has been bruised, cut, beaten and squished all in the name of fun. He was most definitely made of sip and snail and puppy dog tails.

news for tonight

Pa is doing much better. He is working out his food and med. system, keeping a notebook of everything.

I'm slowly getting my chores done. The key word here is slow.

HT and I have decided to react to something in the air. If I'm not running for a hankie for him I'm after one for me.

HT is also working on cutting his eye teeth and it seems like these are going to be the most painful ones. He is not always the happy boy he usually is.

Last night bed time was 8PM and tonight I've made it to 10PM and that's as far as I'm going.

Goodnight

Grandpa M&M is getting better with each passing day. There is a good chance he will be home this week and we will be glad.

We have had a lot of rain this past week. Here in Ill were G'pa and G'ma live 7 and 5/8 inches in just a few days. The rain I could live with it but I have had it with Stormwatch17. I don't ever want to see that mans face again. If I do I think I might just have to slap someone and I would hope it could be him. If only you could reach through the TV.

I have heard that this week we will start a heat wave. Now that gives you something to look forward to. Yes sir you will sweat until there isn't a dry spot on you then you will have to take a shower because you stink then you will start sweating again and around and around you go. HOTDOG
