I just have to tell everyone I had a great weekend with my husband. He is doing pretty well: he has nine radiations and three chemo shots under his belt. He was in good spirits, and enjoying being with other vets. I keep him busy with his deputy tax collector job. He is the one who puts the tax receipts in the envelopes and mails them out. This year, as per the county, the receipts cannot be mailed out for two weeks to make sure all checks are cashed and do not bounce.

Just got off the phone with Father Bill. He sends his love to all, and said to say “hi.” He is taking it one day at a time. He sounds great and seems to be in good mood.

We are going to have some snowy weather this week; be safe and a thank you to our amazing highway crew for keeping the roads safe.

Dolores Manaseri and her husband Joe are in Florida, and it was not even 24 hours before Joe had to take Dolores to the hospital with asthmatic bronchitis. Hope she feels better soon and gets a chance to enjoy the sunshine.
