Family and old friends...

Like Father...
Like son...




Hello Everyone,

This is a picture of my brother and his son (from the previous entry). My nephew is a little younger in this picture, but I wanted one of him smiling so you could see his dimples.
My brother's picture is a little pinkish, but he had brown hair too. They are both tanned most of the time.

Nothing much happening here. It finally stopped raining long enough for us to get the Christmas decorations taken down outside. It is much cooler also, it was around 48 at 1:00pm. My hands were freezing by the time we got through outside.

We have talked to a couple of old friends today. We have known them since we married. I heard Friday from the wife of one,( by mail, she didn't have our number) that he passed away on Dec 10th. She can use your prayers, not only did she lose her husband but she has been on dialysis for 3 years and she is waiting for a kidney donor. She also had 5 bypass heart surgery a year ago. I had to search online for her number because the one I had was an old one. I called her and talked to her for awhile. I called one who lives near us to tell them of his passing and another who lives in AZ. They were all older than us. The one who passed was about 8 years older than my husband. The one in AZ is close to my Dad and Father-in-laws age, and he sounded the same as always. The last time we were all together was Texas.
Time to go,
take care,
Sheila

  2. I love the father son pictures, we comment on that of our sons everyonce in awhile. It is so sad as time goes on, losing loved ones and acquaintenances. That part of life is no fun. Glad the weather cooperated enough to do the outside work. Good entry.

  4. The boys are cute. So you were also an Elvis fan. Glad the weather
    improved.

    When I hear of some people problems
    it lets me know I should never complain. That is so sad about
    your friend. She does need our prayers.

  8. Hey Sheila, I was wondering about your dad. In your moms email she said something about going back to the doctor for your husband. I assume things were pretty good. My ex husband is having a lot of problems with his heart and is on oxygen a lot but he was a smoker. Then his present wife fell and shattered her elbow and he depends on her for so much, but the kids think it is good that he has to help her out. They live in Arkansas. Lucy
