YESTERDAY, I TRIED TO DO A REPORT HERE, AND THE PROGRAM TO DO THIS WAS NOT WORKING FOR SOME REASON.
SO, I DID A VOICE REPORT INSTEAD, AND IT ALSO DID NOT GO UP ON THE WEB.
WAS NOT MUCH TO REPORT IN IT.
YESTERDAY, 72 FOR A HIGH...TODAY, IN 70'S AGAIN, AND STORMS ARE FORECAST FOR THIS AFTERNOON.
SO, SINCE I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS WORKING TODAY, END OF A SHORT REPORT.
SORRY. COMPUTERS ....AS YOU KNOW ....CAN BE FRUSTRATING.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAS HAPPENED.
I HAVE A WONDERFUL CARING FAMILY AND GREAT FRIENDS WHO HAVE COME TO MY SIDE THE LAST FEW DAYS AND IT IS SUPPORT LIKE THIS THAT I PRAY WILL
GET ME THROUGH THIS......WITH THE HELP OF GOD.
NANCY WAS A BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, CARING PERSON.
I WAS THE BUSY PERSON IN THE BUSINESS WORLD AND SHE WAS THE BUSIER PERSON BACK HOME RAISING THE FAMILY AND LISTENING AND GIVING SUPPORT
TO ME AT THE KITCHEN TABLE.
AND WE HAD A LOT OF FUN OVER ALL THOSE YEARS.
I ALREADY MISS HER TERRIBLY......
AND I'M SORRY SHE WILL BE MISSING SOME GREAT YEARS TO COME, ESPECIALY
WATCHING AND HAVING FUN WITH HER GROWING GRANDCHILDREN.
THANKS FOR THE MANY CARDS AND EMALS AND PRAYERS. OR , THE COMFORTING WORDS EITHER AT THE FUNERAL HOME OR AT THE FUNERAL SERVICE.
ITS BACK TO WORK SATURDAY, AND I'LL GET BACK TO THIS REPORT SOON.
AND DON'T FORGET TO SAY "I LOVE YOU" TO THAT SPECIAL PERSON(S) IN YOUR LIFE TODAY, AND EVERY DAY. AS I FOUND OUT...THERE MIGHT NOT BE A NEXT DAY TO SAY IT.
