Note from Aunt Carol

Dear Stacey, I am sorry it has been so long since you heard from me. My daughter-in-law cleaned up my computer and accidently turned off my internet access. I tried over and over but could not find a fix. I hated to bother her again as she has been promoted to Director of Nurses and does a lot of work at home on her laptop. Today my internet provider (here in town) called me and worked it out. Yea! It is so good to be back on line. I am seriously considering a computer class at the Career Center about 20 miles away. I am so glad to read how busy you are and how hard you work at recovery. Of course it is no surprise! You make me ashamed of my whining. I also am keeping busy. Right now I am laundering the winter concert uniforms for my grandson’s high school band. I was really busy this summer with 4-H sewing and craft projects with grandkids. They also have dairy animals in my barn and got some great trophies and showmanship awards. I also have a new pastime of helping raise a kitty whose mother was shot. We found two kittens in the shed. One kitten disapeared last week. I think a racoon did something to him. I go to the barn twice a day to play with Ferdy and she seems to think I am her Mom. I named her that when I thought she was a boy. Now her name is Ferdy Elise in honor of the piece by Beethoven named Fur Elise. I still have the stained, torn sheet music that I played from for a piano recital as a child. Since I was never fond of cats and am allergic to them I feel slightly silly over my affection for this creature. I wrote to make sure you know that even tho you haven’t heard from me, you are alway’s on my mind and in my heart. Love, Aunt Carol, from Michigan
