The Nana Letters - Feb 2008

Dear Krissy,
How are you and all the family?  I am fine.  Roberta makes sure I keep well.  I think she feels at 95 that I should be falling apart.

Well, we had quite a bit of snow this year and it stayed on a long time.  Made me think Calif.? but Roberta does so much for me that I would never leave here.  Also, I like my little apt.  Can boss my own self!!! Dial a Ride comes at most commands.  I enjoy going to the senior center on Wed. and Fri for lunch and womenly gab.  Today I bought an extra one for supper, but I may keep it for tomorrow. 

Are you still working at Kaiser?  Must seem like your other home!  Does Rick (your dad) still live in the area?  Mike (your stepfather) calls me every now and then.  Bonnie will soon reach retirement age, but I bet  she'd rather be working.  It is nice to be able to stay in one job so long.  I worked til I was 81.  My patients would say "you are older than I am".  But I enjoyed the routine.  At home here, I never think routine except  "get the dishes done".  I have a cleaning lady every Thursday so that is ore excuse to let it go.  But I do make my bed except when she comes to change the linens.  She says she has a house and 2 dogs.  They don't allow pets in the apt. complex, but it is hard to tell a child they can't have a pet.  

I think you know Roberta is a traveling nurse and works in any state.  Now, she is in Reno and she has a trailer that Dave pulls to wherever she is for her to live in.  

Did you ever hear of "gout"?  It is just as crazy as it sounds.  I had it in a hand about 8 or 9 months ago and now I have it again in my R little finger and foot.  They say drinking lots of water is best - but I'm never thirsty.  3 cups of instant coffee does pretty good.  

How do Breanna and Lauren like college?  What are their majors?  Are they anxious to have their own apt?  All kids dream of when "I'm really big."  Did I tell u that I write to a boyfriend, but he is younger.  But just recovering from a broken knee.  I think we live about 600 miles apart so it will probably always be letters, but it makes going to the mail box an excursion - about 3/4 block.  If you have something that won't fit in the box, the carrier will bring it to the house, and they just open the door and walk in.  If you are not at home, they put it inside the screen door.  

Did you every play a card game of "Solitaire"?  That is my usual evening after Wheel of Fortune.  Sometimes there are later shows I enjoy, but not usually.  Last week, there was The Most Unusual Accident or Happening"  and The Most Outrageous @ another night.  Often, I just pick up a book, but I stay up too late then.  

Well, I do enjoy your letters and hope to hear from u again.   

So, How is Robert?

Love to all, Nana
