All of us have been down with something that felt like flu
but I guess were just particularly nasty colds. Ellie and
I are better since we have had antibiotics and Bobby went
to the doctor yesterday. I had to check out Adrienne from
school yesterday because of a tummy ache. She couldn't
stay home because she had a chemistry test.

It has reached such epidemic proportions that some of the
schools are closing.

This is a busy week and when it warms up towards the weekend,
I have to take Ted to the V.A. and get his hearing aides
checked. He can hardly hear anything I say.

Ellie and I are coping with the sadness in our lives the
best way we can. The girls haven't been told yet.
