'Of Mice and Men'

Alex is Margaret's grandson who just left for the University of Missouri in Columbia. I'm sure Sabrina and Dave, his parents, are going to miss him, but Columbia's pretty close and they still have Brett at home. I had my weekly call from Pete on Saturday He said Janet is doing more therapy this past week and is off the respirator some of the time. Chris and I went to Rose's presentation Friday evening. He set my cell phone on vibrate. When Pete called on Saturday morning and got no answer on my cell phone or lake phone, then he called Joe to see where I was. Joe told him to 'check the blog'. Rose and I finally heard a funny noise--the phone. This sparked some emails back and forth between Brother Joe and me. He had watched 'Of Mice and Men' and it much reminded him of our upbringing and the struggles our mother braved through. In spite of what she did for all us offspring, she gave us full credit for our accomplishments. After emailing with Joe, I looked up John Steinbeck and 'Of Mice and Men' and I think I probably saw it first at the Ritz Theater in Marshfield. Joe believes he maybe saw it on television the first time. I ordered DVD's of this movie and 'Grapes of Wrath' and a copy of 'Of Mice and Men' for my kindle through www.amazon.com. What would I do without my computer and the internet! What would we all do?
