Ellie will return from Russia Wed. and has been with her mother and sister since her Dad passed away. Thursday,
Pat's mother died and the funeral is Monday. That means
that the girls are all mine since she has so much to do
with getting her mother's affairs in order.

I have very little time for blogging and keeping up with
all my friends. Please do forgive me. I also have a
sense of something hanging over my head. It is the old
superstition that bad things come in threes.

The phone is out of order and I can't get it fixed until
tomorrow and the cell phone is acting in an odd manner.
When I dial a number, I get a message from U. S. Cellular,
so it is useless.
