Winter 2012

Jim and I drove up to North Dakota to support my family. 
Dad, Sam, went to rehab January 5.  We got up to ND Feb 13 and stayed until March 14.  Sam is at Bethany Nursing and Rehab facility where he receives care and therapy.  Sam enjoys looking out the window at the events outside.  The staff really enjoy him, and his humor, and take good care of him.  Sam takes everything "a day at a time".
Mom, Darline, ended up in the hospital for four days after fainting and falling and was also in rehab short term.  She has been cleared and is back home.  It was great to spend a month with my parents.  Jim was outstanding with his support and spent hours on end with my father.




We managed to have an outside life while up in Fargo.  Spent time with Susan, my sister, and her family, Mike, my brother, and his family and Uncle Marv.  We went to a blues festival with Deb.  Spent time with with my good friends, Nancy and Cathy, and also saw my cousins, Bill and Scott, and their families.

 
After leaving ND, we spent time with Tom and Kris in WI.  Also stayed in Chicago with Kathy and Gary and enjoyed the fun for St. Patrick's Day.  Tom is Jim's brother and Kathy is Jim's sister.
