I went to the Dept. of Motor Vehicles today. I got my driver's license, car registration, tags and title. I also got my voter's registration. It went smoothly, I had all my paper work that I needed.

I went to the Home Depot afterwards. I got my umbrella clothes line and some other items. I went to the Safeway Supermarket next to the Home Depot. When I got home, I took Danny out. He went in the back yard and then came right back into the house. I was glad because it was way past lunchtime. I didn't get much done around here. I put the trash and some boxes out earlier. Kyleigh, the neighbor girl helped me with the boxes. Now I have more room in the kitchen but that will soon disappear when I unpack some more boxes. I have some outdoor work to do but it's supposed to rain all week.

I got emails from my cousins and friends. I sent my address change. It was good to hear from them.

When I went in the Home Depot, I saw the Christmas decorations and in my head I said, "Christmas." It reminded me of when I got Ted out of the hospital in December of 2006. He saw the Christmas lights on the houses and said, "It's Christmas." I had to fight back the tears as I walked through the store.

Just reading your blog brought tears to my eyes also Karol. So hard to accept that he is no longer with us and now with Kathy so ill also. Makes one wonder why our beautiful children have to suffer so.

Our prayers are with you, Mom & Dad

You brought tears to my eyes also Karol. That memory of Ted realizing that it was Christmas, as he was leaving the hospital, is a memory that will be with you forever. And, I'm sure it will bring sad feelings with it. You two were such good friends, always doing everything together, and then to have him gone. I truly can't even begin to imagine your pain Karol. How difficult it would be for many of us to be without our best friends, as well as our dear husbands. I'm so very sorry that you must suffer so deeply from Ted's death.

And, when I think of Ted and Phylis's pain, it truly makes my heart just ache for them. Losing their dearly beloved son and now with Kathy suffering so. It is my promise to each of you to pray for God's comforting touch each day. Parent's just aren't equipped to suffer such pain with their children's serious illnesses and death. It is such horrible pain. God will have some explaining to do about this for sure. Love and caring, Ruth
