Not Such Good News..

Unfortunately, the news today is not as good as yesterday. Last evening shortly after dinner time, Great-Gramma Robert was taken to the hospital. It seems she had a bad infection, which had become septic, and her temperature rose to a level, such that, it was determined she needed some hospital care. They attached two intravenous lines, and said she would have to stay there for a couple of days, at least, until her blood cleared up. I will keep you advised.

On a much cheerier note, I received some pictures today from Gramma. She caught Daddad, Mummum and Munchie cavorting together in the pool. Apparently Daddad was lounging around, and Mummum caught a great, huge, green sea turtle. Munchie stood up to check it out and Gramma caught that moment on camera. It appears they all had a good time. I wonder if they had green sea turtle soup for supper????

Poppa and Squeegie have gone in to Aunt Peggy's house to prepare the basement ceiling for the installation of a new gas furnace. Aunt Peggy had the same oil furnace for 51 years. Yes, I'm serious. It was still working too! However, in the interest of efficiency, value for cost, reliability and peace of mind, she decided to replace the poor, old thing. Squeegie waited patiently for Poppa to gather up the proper tools, put them in the car, and then, at the last minute, run upstairs to put on a different shirt.

The weather is still "dark and stormy" - which is the title of this photograph taken by Uncle Shaun further along the shore in the same park as yesterday's picture. It looks appropriate for a novel in the thriller category. I'm sure there is a deep, dark mystery hiding under the water somewhere!
