I’m sitting here in my aunt's family room looking out the window at a deer in her back yard. Earlier I saw a fox slinking around the neighbor's birdfeeder. I guess he was looking for a poultry dinner. The deer is probably coming for the seed.

My aunt came home from the hospital yesterday. She went to the emergency room thinking she had bronchitis and while waiting she had a stroke. It must have been a mild one because she seems fine now. They did take her driver's license away which was very upsetting to her. She was disoriented for awhile as she didn't remember driving to the hospital or why. She felt well enough to go out to dinner last night. We went to Ruby Tuesdays.

Her daughter, Donna, came this morning and we went to look at some condos nearby. Many of my aunt's friends live there and it is on flat level ground and within walking distance to her church and shops. We looked at three in the complex. Two were very nice; the other needed a lot of work. One was on the bottom floor with sliding doors going out onto a patio. It has nice shrubs and you cannot see the houses. On the higher floors, you see the parking lot and surrounding houses.

I am here to make sure she can live independently. She was getting her medicine mixed up so we want to be sure to get that straightened out. It was her first day home and she is still healing from the stroke. Her other daughter, Jan, wants to move back here from NY state and buy the house. This makes my aunt happy as they can still have their family dinners and get togethers here. This is a beautiful home that my uncle and my aunt’s father built. It is on a hillside overlooking a lake. We all have wonderful memories of swimming, sledding, and ice skating.

Karol, Please tell your Aunt Jean that she is in our thoughts and prayers, and wishing her a quick recovery. I also remember those times we babysat for your Aunt Jean and went swimming, sledding, and ice skating. They were some great times. It is good to know that you were there at the right time and the right place, just when you were needed. Naomi
