Sandy 29th January 2013

Hi Dad, Just wanted to say hi and that I miss you. We are all OK. I have been taking the dogs for a walk lately. MaryEllen takes Darcy and I take Nova & Dexter. Remember that Schatzie doesn't like to walk. She will walk a few steps then stop so I take her out front and she can walk around there. MaryEllen & Bernie will be here til early March. She has a friend coming tomorrow for a few days. Our next door neighbors Vinnie and Carmella were here recently for a few days and got a call that their oldest son had died. They left immediately in early AM and I didn't see them but I received a call from a relative up in NY. I sent a card also and I'm sure I'll see them again sometime although it may be a while. Very sad. Reminded me of Shannon. Larry's kitchen is finally finished and he is very pleased. It has been something he has been wanting to do. Don't hear much from Bill but Jesse lets me know what is happening. He's been helping a friend move to Montana, of all places. My work schedule is easier at 3 days a week. I'd like to stay there for awhile and save some $$$ to do some things around the house. I'm feeling good and have a 6-mo appt with Dr. Balzano next Monday. It's been a mild winter so far and I'm enjoying puttering around outside and planting. Wish you were here to see it. My love to you and my Mother and Joany. Miss you forever, Sandy
