Gram Update

Hi Everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I wrote. Busy here in California and I just got my computer this week. Having beautiful weather here. Lots of sun. Mornings are cool usually in the 40's, but by noon we're usually in the 60's. Happy to say I'm not missing the snow in PA.

As you all know Mom has gotten moved into her new apartment. Tony & Renee took her shopping and she got a new sofa and chair. She is using her bedroom furniture that she brought with her from home and her pots and pans. Marsha has been so kind as to give her dishes and some other things. Peg (Mom's niece) gave her some items for her new place. She is having fun getting everything set up. She used the laundry facility in her building yesterday and she said that wasn't to bad. She sounds tired every night, but she has lots to do each day and is keeping busy. She says she doesn't miss Stinky Kitty. Stinky is staying at Tony and Renee's. He is getting along quite well with their cat Smokey and their dog Kina. I can hardly wait to see him when I get home next week.

Mom's new phone number is XXX-XXX-XXXX. Her address is as follows:

I hope you all take the opportunity to write or call. She loves to hear from everyone. If you call, make sure she has your phone number. She will call you. She has unlimited long distant calling on her phone. So it doesn't matter how long she talks her bill will always be the same.

Just to let everyone know Renee had surgery on Thursday, on her right shoulder and left knee. The surgery went well. Renee is starting to get around, but she is sore. I'm sure an email would cheer her. Her email address is renee2144@msn.com.

Happy birthdays go out to Cory (Marsha's son) December 11, and Marsha's birthday is December 17th. If you get a chance to talk to them remember to wish them a happy day. (Don't forget to let me know if I miss anyone's birthday, I like adding to my list, that includes everyone).

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and all I can say is keep shoveling that snow. We'll be thinking of you.

Lots of Love to you All,

Cathy
