My favorite Aunts and Santa

These two are my favorite Aunts. Aunt Lucy and Aunt Betty. I seen both over the weekend. My Aunt Betty is not very well. She is in the hospital struggling for every breath. She knew I was there. All of her kids, grand kids and great grand kids were there. Please say a prayer for her to recover. I spent a lot of time at her and Uncle Herb's house playing with all my cousins. Her kids are awesome. The whole family is so close. I envy them. Charlie, Ivan, Jimmy, Mike, Lena and Sharon had a good time reminiscing. Aunt Betty is trying to convince Santa that she was a good girl. I have to vouch for her. Santa was none other than Jerry Stine. He dresses up and entertains the folks at the area nursing homes. His family is related to Uncle Herb and we spent a lot of time with them too. His brother Runt worked at our gas station in the late 60 or 70 s. My best girl friend married their brother Bob. Aunt Lucy has a terrible sinus infection. She is feeling better but doesn't sound like it yet. She came to the restaurant to have breakfast with Carroll and I. So Aunties, get well soon. Carroll is schedule for a Colonoscopy Wednesday. He had nose surgery again the day after Thanksgiving. I hope this is the last of his excitement. My sister-in-law Izola had a stroke November 17, 2007. She is home now and improving everyday. The stroke affected her right side and her speech. She is talking more everyday. Duane has been wonderful thru all of this. She is the best. January 7, 2008, I start getting series of three injections in both of my knees. The Doctor says I'm too young for double knee replacements. I fell 3 times over the dishwasher this summer. I don't even want to go there but one more trip over the dishwasher and I will have to have a new one. I wish I had been born with more grace! Well, this sounds like a medical journal. I hope 2008 will be good to all of us.
