This was very good!!  It was even good the next day!!

Had a nice time at Tom & Velva’s last weekend!!  Got to see Shara and Margo!! Every one is doing well.  Louie was feeling well enough to join us. 

I have worked Wednesday and Thursday.  I am also working Saturday.  After that it falls off again!!

Mom was not feeling well the other day.  Her asthma was bothering her.  My peek flow is still not doing well.  It’s hard to remember to take the medication on an empty stomach.  I will be seeing my Doctor on Tuesday.
