I will be leaving this afternoon for the visit in Seattle with Ruth, Rich, Dad and Jewell. I am looking forward to going but also worried because it is a bad time to be gone because I am so busy at work. I have been installing a new computer at home and that is keeping up me busy there too.
This past weekend I was with Scott and Marissa and dropping them off at Sugarloaf Fine Arts Camp on Sunday afternoon. So I will be gone three weekends in a row, first San Diego, Placerville, and now Seattle. I am too busy. It is good but maybe a little less intensity would be ok too.
Deanna and Rich went to Diana’s wedding last weekend in Colfax. Dianna is Mary Beth’s youngest daughter (Jo Lynn’s niece). She had a good time and saw lots of people. She also reports that Mom is doing really well. She even went to brunch and walked well with her cane. Deanna says that Mom able to keep up with conversations and events pretty well. So that seems good.
I am still kind of stuck again in memory lane about Jo and my life. It seems like I just can’t get out of this rut. Just when I think I am getting better something sucks me back. Yesterday I received a phone call from a guy I worked with several years ago, during Jo’s original bout with cancer. John’s wife had breast cancer about the same time. Anyway John asked about Jo since we hadn’t talked in that long. He was so sorry but of course the nothing he could have done to prevent stirring it up. Things like that often set me back a bit when they happen. Another example; I met a woman on the plane to San Diego two weeks ago and in chatting with her about Jo and I had trouble even getting it out without choking up!
