Boxer, a new member of the family

Just finished a note to Bob Karlson seeing I couldn't get to the funeral.  I did give a memorial to the church.

This has been a bad week.  Dad fell in the shower & trying to get him out I strained my leg so it's starting to pain again.  Finally called Lar for help.  Another time I was in the kitchen getting lunch, heard a thump &U he had fallen.  He had to wait til Dale came to get him up.  Lar bro't over Mr. Crary's wheelchair & that is a help.  Today we'll get a twin spring & mattress & set it up in the eating area & we'll have to eat in the D.R.  It is too hard going up & down the stairs.  Sometimes he can get up & walk, other times there is no strength to left himself up.

But the weather is beautiful.   High 70s on Thus. & should get in the 80s+ today.  We sat on the porch for awhile yesterday.  It was just a perfect day.

Imagine Andy is real happy as an Atlanta fan.  I was glad they didn't break the home run record just tied it.

Heard from Millie from Fla.  She spent 10 days with Jerry's brother Tony & his wife.  We got a card from Disney World.  Also a letter from Edna.  Did I mention Aunt Esther fell & broke her hip.  It has healed & she uses a walker.  But she is very mixed up in her mind & sometimes doesn't know Edna, Millie or Gen.

In June Dale goes to Rochester for 3 days for a course in Electrics which he said is a pretty good opportunity for him.  He stays at a Red Roof Motel & gets money for food.  All expanses paid.  Drives on of Shults' cars.

I'm really enjoying hockey & Buffalo is doing so well.  The Buff. TV news says sport stores are having a hard time keeping Saber shirts, etc. in store as everyone is a fan now.  If they play (get to) Detroit I wonder if they could beat them.  They would be the "dream team" then.  I'm even getting to know some of the names.  ESPN's Gary Thorne & Bill Clement are the top announcers but I think Fox has the final games.

We still watch Atlanta but their announcers are so biased it's sickening.  Sometimes we get Cleveland on Erie Fox T.V. & their annoucners aren't so bad but they're monotonous.  What a critic - nothing is as good as WWOR (NYC) & we don't get them.  Youngsville & Sheffield do.  Dad doesn't like it if I mute the T.V. & just watch.

Did you watch the final Seinfeld - Dale did.

Have a nice Memorial Day.
