Two corrections: Margaret Ann is really Margaret Anne. This is news to Rose who has only known her for 62 years! And Bernie broke his ankle, not his foot.

I am back home after several days at the Lake. Shelly and I drove back today. We left Maddog and Mark Goldman there, and they were playing 18 holes of golf. Chris and Dave Smith played golf at Tan Tar A last Friday. Den and Doug fished. They didn't catch any bass, but they did catch crappie. We had various comings and goings over the weekend.

Scott and Brayden will arrive a little after midnight tonight. Alas, Jalen couldn't come, but will be here next week for a few days along with Shirley's young friend Jamil who lives in Bloomington, IN. Jalen and Jamil hit it off when they were both here last winter, and we've been looking for a time to have them back together to do some sightseeing and playing. Scott and I will drive back to the Lake in the morning. Brayden will stay here.

Sabrina is in Canada until late Friday evening. She and her family will keep Brayden when Rose has to leave for Chicago and until Scott returns from the Lake on Sunday.

There is no news about my health. I continue to do my physical therapy exercises, and they are paying off. My ear problem is much better, hopefully cleared up, and I won't have to see an ENT person.

That's all from Greenwood. [For those of you who do not know what 'Greenwood' is about, years ago Pete and Janet and Margaret and Norm subscribed to our hometown newspaper, the Marshfield Mail. It is a small paper and is chock full of newsy little items about areas in and around Marshfield, such as the "Tandy Whatnots" and the "Greenwood Items." The columnist from Greenwood chronicled the preacher's Sunday dinner. Janet and Margaret began to keep track; the guy ate at someone's house every Sunday. They wondered if his wife did any cooking at all; certainly never on Sunday!

The reporter for the "Tandy Whatnots" always reported on people's illnesses. However, if you missed a week, you might never know what happened for the column would read something like, "So and So is some better." Better from what you would never find out. It might be a gall bladder attack, kidney stone, gout, a kick by the cow, or a stubbed toe. ]

One of these days, we'll tell the story of "Is Your Dog Vaccinated." If you have talked to Brother Joe in the past 50 years, you've probably already heard it.
