Dear FFF:

Wish I had something exciting to tell y'all but I don't.  Things are going just fine here in the sunny Northwest but a little on the mundane side!

My gal Annette is getting to the stage where her family is going to have to move her to assisted living.  They are in the process of getting all the paper work together and shopping around for the right facility.  This is the time that we all dread and and only hope we don't have to go through the same thing.  I have watched several family members and friends have to give up their homes and it is not easy.

But, because of her state of mind, I am staying pretty close to home.  I do get to play pinochle for a couple of hours every Monday and the rest of the time, I work out in the yard, sew on the baby quilts I'm making, and cook and bake.  It's working for now, but look forward to finding a new place and a job.  I still want to stay in this area for another year but don't exactly where that will be.  I know God will come up with something for me!

I will be flying to Nashville around the middle of December and staying for a month.  All the kids will will coming there to Suzies house for a Country Christmas!  Should be loads of fun!  After the first of the year I want to drive up to Lexington, Ky then to Cincinatti to see Abbey and Haley's new digs and meet their roomies.  Gotta do that grandma thing you know!

Will keep everyone posted of what is new.  Have a great fall!
