Turn of the year update

Since our last post, things started moving faster. Our son Tony has gone from hospital, to care home, to hospital, to another care home. Poor guy missed being home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But the family and friends have visited him daily, and even took his Christmas gifts to his room on Christmas Eve. His muscles have sunk so much, he has a really hard time just getting up to stand. But I must say, he is a fighter and is getting stronger, day by day. He is clear of the infection of MRSA after more than 6 weeks of very strong antibiotics. Now to get him home. Other than Tony, our holidays were good. The weekend of January 16th thru the 19th there were 7 car auctions in the Valley. I put my 36 Ford in its third auction trying to sell it, but it did not. So I guess I will be hanging on to it a little longer. As an incentive for Tony to get well, I bought him an inexpensive 1969 Mustang Coupe that we can work on together. That really made him smile. Nancy is still working for our daughter's medical practice as the bookkeeper. The end of the year stuff is a whole new thing for her, as this the first full year of ownership. We are planning a RV trip to Wisconsin and Minnesota going through Illinois, close to Chicago so we can see my son Shawn and his family, and maybe some good friends from that area. No overseas trip at this point, but there is talk about Ireland, Burma or maybe an old Iron Curtain country or two. I would just like to say thanks to you who have read this blog and hope we can see you all soon. We appreciate you following us and our adventures. Take care, stay safe and God bless you all.
