Happy birthday Maria! See you this afternoon for some laughs and togetherness.

Well, we have floors for the bedroom and we saved $9 over the other quote. Woohoo!! The remodel is two weeks away and we may have all our materials by then. 😃

We had a light dusting of snow yesterday. I typically always went out and cleaned up most of the driveways in our HOA. Instead, I watched from the house as our neighbor Fred, who is nearly 80, did all the shoveling, including our driveway and sidewalk. That’s what it’s all about, neighbors helping neighbors and before you know it, you have a great community. I have to admit…Crystal Lake is “A Good Place To Live”

I’ve slowly been trying to personally contact some of the people I have worked with over the years and let them know about the ALS diagnosis. I really dislike making the call, because it shocks the person on the receiving side and renders them speechless. It is awkward and we get past it, but the first few minutes are emotionally painful. The conversation always ends with “if there is anything I can do, please call.” My response typically is ”we’re good now, but months from now that may change”. I’ve said it before, we are fortunate to have such a great family and good friends.

We had cocktail hour at Fred and Anna’s yesterday. Good to catch up each week. Fred’s having cataract surgery and is nervous about all the steps involved over the 23 days of treatment. So, I took all his paperwork home last night and trying to get the key items on to a one-page sheet with checkboxes. Hope that reduces his anxiety.

Everybody have a great Saturday.

Love you guys!❤️
