    Very Sad News

    This morning, my wife had this weird feeling. So she called her niece to see how Linda (wife’s sister-in-law, sister of her first husband) was doing.

    Linda passed away this morning in her sleep.

    It was good for my wife that we did go and visit with her Wednesday morning. They talked and laughed about everything. Told my wife, keep those memories of her and know that she has gone to be with her mother and her brother.

    It never is a happy or good occasion when a loved one passes on.

    We did go to Winterset this morning and picked up the camera. Again, it was a wonder that the camera was still on the table at the park. And the very nice Korean woman is tickled that her camera with all the pictures she took on her travels of the USA and Canada are again in safe hands.

    Having off and on little drizzles of rain today. And watched the news about flooding in various parts of Iowa. Tell you, if you have never been in a flood, you really can’t imagine what these poor people are going through.We are lucky here in that we are not that near any river or stream that could overflow and flood us.

    Wife is baking and cooking stuff for the baby shower tomorrow. And found out today that the doctor may birth the baby in 2-3 weeks. Not let the baby girl go to full term. This is because the mother is diabetic and they do not want the baby to be diabetic also. As soon as they verify that the lungs of the baby are fully formed, they will deliver her. Again, another worry for the family.

    Now, before you forget to do so, call or better yet visit if you can those relatives of yours that are elderly or may have health problems. And let them know you love them.
