Quiet here on the 'home front'.
Dh is the only one who went to church today. I awoke about 4:30 with a scratchy throat, stuffed up, eyes running and ears bugging me. Told dh I was staying home, then dd came in to tell me that "Just Dad is going today". We had the same thing -though she sounds worse than me. Then by the time dh got home, he was sounding bad too. Dsonil was sick last week until about Friday -so what do you all think? My guess is we have the same germs! Ugh! I have looked for 3 days incessantly for my prescriptions for a nebulizer from my Dr up home. I have looked in everything I can think of and some things going paper by paper 3 times. If I haven't found it by Wednesday I'll call up home and tell them I've lost and see about them calling a new script into W algreens here. I know I saw it after we got down here. I've even looked in the ar more than once.
I had our annual meeting at our church up home at 12:30 by conference call. Thank goodness I had asked that someone take notes on that end. I could hear the moderator fine but lost most other things. I have bits and pieces so hopefully the writer and I can put it all together. Meeting lasted until 1:04 so only about 30 minutes. They had a meal there and all had to get situated before we began. Asked where ours was but it was a no go. Know it's very cold up there.
Finally got our card from pen pal (she and I have written since I was 11) yesterday. Was going to kid her about the postage due -that was until I got her letter. It was a letter describing their year and the card -one like I've never seen for her dh's funeral. He'd been diagnosed in April with stage 4 liver cancer. He passed away Dec 21st -just 6 days before their 60th anniversary. Need to get a letter written back to her -she doesn't do computer. We did drive out there and met them (Hannibal/Palmyra Mo) about 9 1/2 years ago. So glad we finally got to meet face to face. Our lives have so paralleled each other. I had lots of pen pals at one time but she was the only one where we really clicked.
DD's in doing her taxes and not sounding too happy. She had figured that even though her dh worked in NY for several months last year, they would be getting back what he'd paid in for taxes. Not. They still owe NY State unfortunately.
