@Nazani Neighbors. It's a very small town on Vancouver Island. Small towns people look out for each other.

Good morning Resisters. It's up to 15⁰ here. By Tuesday the low should be in the 20s with the high in the 40s.

@Nazani She has actually been taking him to a restaurant once a week. You can imagine what that entails.

Shortly after they were married she had to have brain surgery and he took care of her. I think that is part of it. And they have said 2 months.

@Nazani That's the problem. He is nor ambulatory. He got T-boned about 5 years ago by a speeding driver who ran the light, and broke 3 vertebraes. Because of his age they never healed. He can only get out of bed with his turtle shell on.

@jadugar63 Not just the poor. I get great satisfaction taking flowers to the CCU at Cox hospital in Branson. It brightens their day. Zinnias easily last a week.

@Nazani my father is getting a bit senile. Has never gotten names mixed up but has problems with words. But then he is 97. And this morning I got the news. He was in the hospital for a UTI and they discovered a metastasized cancer in his stomach. But at least he has lived a pretty full life. His wife plans to care for him at home. I think it will be a bit much for her. She is 75.

Calling it a night. Tomorrow morning is 2⁰. Our 2 day warmup ended yesterday evening. But a week from now we should be back to "normal" weather. 40s during the day and 20s at night.
