From A Wide Spot In The Road

Sorry about your brother. I'm doing ok. It's been a long day. One I don't care to repeat. I'm working on the thanksgiving meal I'm cooking for myself for tomorrow. Likely the only chance I'll get.

Glad to hear you're ok. Doesn't the city have some sort of plan to keep power to people on oxygen? That's scary. I can't imagine 5 days with no coffee. Someone would surely be harmed here. LOL
 
You’ve had some very difficult times in the past few weeks. My sympathies for the loss of your brother.

Got a letter from my granddaughter in Italy. She's disappointed she can't move around Europe more due to the
Virus. She and her mother did go to the beach with friends. She did say she was enjoying vising with her Italian
family but missed us knowing we were an ocean apart.

She told me about three old film cameras her other grandfather had before he died recently and said she was
trying to figure out how they worked. She said she was painting some and reading and had recently spent a small
amount of her "çleaning lady money," shopping.

She wished us a happy Veterans Day and said she missed us and loved us dearly. She is seventeen years old and
is learning to spread her wings. She has a good command of our language and is fluent in both Italian and Spanish.
I've always thought of her as an old soul, wise beyond her years. She always stays in touch. A sweet girl.

She sounds so nice and smart too. Was she born in Italy? I'm so happy you got that letter.
 
@RadishRose, No she was born in Norman, OK. Her mother was born in Italy. She and my son met in Seville, Spain, both there on a scholarship. She from Potensa, Italy; he
from Lubbock, TX. Granddaughter has graduated high school, her brother is a junior at Oklahoma University, plays in the OU Band, and is majoring in Mathmatics.

Thanks. You spoke of them before, but I got confused. Nothing new, Hah. 🌹
 
Cute! cute? That old man is serious in his demeanor, thoughtful as the founding fathers, more wealthy that the hobo in younders
frieght car, and you say cute. Why thank you for the compliment.
 
Had a cousin die from the Covid-19 Virus last weekend in Arkansas. His daughter and son in law taking care of him, not knowing his illness was covid, also have the virus. Another daughter is in quarantine.
 
The VA quit billing Veterans for medication in March this year. Today I got a bill from them through October. It was for $889.00. Thay said
this amount was not due until January but I would need to pay up this amount plus anything the pharmacy shipped me for November
and December. I wish they had kept billing by the month but they did this because of the Virus as they felt some would be hurt finanancially
by the Virus. However that amount is for both my roommate and myself. That averages out to a hundred and twenty-seven buck a month for the both of us. I suppose that's not too bad to keep us alive. I'm not complaining but I was hoping it would be less.
