UPDATE.........Good news and sad........

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,…Steve’s blood tests came back negative for leukemia. WHEW…….., that was scary. Praise God! Thanks for all the prayers too. J Seems like one can’t have good news without something else happening that is sad. In this case a cousin of mine died Sunday night. He was only 65. Guess he had suffered from a couple strokes over the years, and the last one put him in the hosp. with pneumonia and malnutrition. He was a good looking and happy guy from the years that I knew him and it was sad to see the pictures of him before he passed. He lived in Las Vegas, and is survived by one daughter from Alabama, a sister in Wyoming, and a brother in Oregon.. His daughter was with him when he passed. My shoulder is still acting up here and there. I have to wait now to get my cortisone shot until after the holidays. I’ll just have to take it easy until then. My daughter and her family will be with us for thanksgiving. They are getting an RV Wed., to live in until they get their housing approved, then they can get into a decent house. My son won’t be here, he decided he wanted to be with his friends. That’s a little sad for me. The girls will be with their mom all week, so I won’t get to see them either. It’s been 2 mo.’s + since I last saw them. How different my family is from days past. Our neighbors cat Julep has adopted us. She races in every time the front door is opened, and then she wants all the loving. Gets up on my desk, and me and purrs and pads. Sweet kitty, and I hate to put her back out when our weather has been so cold. She has a nice thick coat so I think she’s okay. I don’t know if she is potty boxed trained so I can’t keep her inside for long. I’m sure she would find a place to curl up in. We’re expecting high winds at the beach, they said hurricane type. Lots of rain and some flooding in areas. We had wind and rain here too, but not too bad. Guess that’s it, if I don’t get back on here before Thursday, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL! Hugs, Jackie p/s Reb, your Pixie is a doll baby, and so precious. J
