Folks, I tried to wash my cellphone, again, last night. So, this morning we went to get a new one. It wasn't quite right, so we went back, after lunch, to get a different one. On the way there, the first new one rang. I answered. It was Karen! I had no paper or pen with me, so wanting to keep my "intrepid reporter" status intact (in what, kat??!:-) I asked her if I might call her back in just a few. She said sure.

Anyway, long story shortened...I didn't have her number, lost in the washing and couldn't call her back until now. So, here's the news:

He is CRANKY! Always a good sign. He has been put in a stepped down unit and will going to rehab. When I called her back, she couldn't find the addy, so she'll have Connie email it to me. She found one she thinks he will really like.

They got snow and it's been crazy with her working, going to see Pat, and Tris working with the street cleaning people. She said she was sleeping and heard a knock on the door, ran down the stairs, opened the door to see Steve there asking if Tris was available. She looked outside at the darkness and said, "Do they have school, today?" He laughed and told her it was seven PM. He needed Tris to help with snow plows, so of course, Tris has been in heaven. Got to go out with them AND when Karen came home he had the driveway, sidewalks, etc. all cleaned off for her, too!
