happy note!

On my husband's birthday we received a letter from our son in the sandbox. He is doing very well. He stays really busy. I think he is learning to appreciate the small things in life - clean in door bathrooms, showers, and home cooked meals. Of course clean clothes. It is pretty barren over there.

My older sister Joyce died last month suddenly, she was in hospital and I thought she'd be home soon. Had lung infection from breathing dust cleaning her furnace. Had chest pains and died during heart catherization. She leaves behind 8 living children, 4 sons and 4 daughters. One son died several years ago.
