Hey MIke, it's always good to hear from you. Just talked to Clint the other day and he's good. Sorry bout the sick time. That can be some nasty stuff.
It's not the way we wanted it to happen, but the kids came up from TN. to attend my Dad's funeral and I got to not only see my little guys, but the new baby too. She's a beaut. Not used to those little tiny ones though. She's 6 wks. Our VFW held the reception for us, great job by the way and I got to show the whole fam damnly off. I was on cloud 9, let me tell ya.
Dad had served in Occupied Japan during the war and the Navy showed up and did a great service to him. Not too many of those WWII guys around. He was 91.MY niece did a slide show for us with pictures from him as a kid right on up to the end of last year. Then presented each sibling with a copy
Sorry to hear about Eric and his shananigins. But you're right, 9 lives, been me they would've thrown the book at me.
Mike, again it's always good to hear from you and give your great wife a hug for me. Take care friend.
today is the next step in the journey......paw
Hi Mike F!
Sorry to hear that you were sick and that Eric is still raising hell. Glad you will get a nice break with your wife.
We are all okay here. Just have the flu bug going around. My Dad was pretty sick at the end of his cancer treatment in October, but he has improved. He only needs to go once a month now. He is in remission. He still has to go in for back treatments and to have his blood levels checked. The cancer started destroying his back bone.(spine) It was about 60% damaged. It will take awhile to fix that.
Hope we hear from you again soon!
Peace be with you!
Ann
