Last Saturday, Buzz, Linda and I drove to Winona to visit Carliss. We had a delightful time reminising about family, pets, holidays and of course, our parents. She was extremely happy to hear that Buzz has seen the "light" and is sometime voting republican. She wanted to get out of the chair and give him a hug but to difficult for her. She has a hospital bed in her living room and hooked up to oxygen all the time. She said that her lungs are "shot". We were afraid that we were tiring her out as we stayed at almost 3 hours. Her home health aide came at 3ish and said it was the best thing for her to have company.
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. This was the year for the girls to go to the "other side". Sara and family in Waukon, Iowa and Lisa and family headed to Battle Lake. Andy's dad, Marv was just diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and waiting for results of tests and when chemo will be started. Say a prayer for Marv and the family. Al and I just stayed home. We have both been working the last week and it felt good to just relax and watch football, football and football.
Judy, I think we sat on Porky ........Mom and Dad were getting new carpet...the green carpet so the big chair was in the kitchen. He sure did sputter and cough.....poor cat...
Buzz does not know about Sir Thomas Martin Anderson......Carliss really laughed about the name. Were Bob and Buzz just little little kids when we had him? Remember when we thought he was killed....we were all crying and he walked in the store or upstairs from the other room.
Enough rambling.......love all of you......

Thanks for going to see Carlis. I know a visit is great medicine. I saw it when you all came to see Dad in Tucson.
It was(cat) that Dad told us that someone came into the store and said that our cat was dead. Dad picked it up a put it down the outside "john". As we were sitting there crying Jack S(the neighbor) came to the kitchen door and the cat was with him.
Was Jack still alive when Bob and Buzz were born?
Porky is the only one that I remember good. Was Jack a gold color. Glad to see you saw Carlis. After Orrin's e-mail been wating for more info. Thanks for passing it on
