UPDATES ON THE LASSEY CLAN

Dad Wintering Well

Dad says he is getting along just fine and feels pretty good. He had a chance to see a bunch of his family and friends at church on Sunday, and had just enjoyed dinner at Mavis and Ron's with more family. He says the cold weather doesn't bother him that much after 92 years!

Lila At Home

We talked to Lila this morning (Martin Luther King Day, January 16) and were very pleased to hear her clear voice from her home phone rather than from the hospital. She is generally taking care of herself, but with help from her kids, a nurse, and a woman who buys groceries and does other chores. She says she remains pretty weak and can't sleep well, but much prefers to be in her apartment as compared to the hospital or a nursing home. However, she is staying inside because it was 22 degrees below zero this morning in Bismarck!

Shawn and Tracy in the Bahamas

Shawn and Tracy left today for 10 days in the Bahamas. Sounds like quite a lark for the middle of January when temperatures are below zero! Mavis and Ron are hosting the grandkids, but they get to go traveling also--to Jamaica for a week later in the winter.

(I wish we could we could go to a warm climate. It was 21 degrees above zero in Tucson this morning--pretty cold for here, and a bit hard to get used to after temperatures in the 70's for the first part of January!)

Will and Trista on a Cruise

Will and Trista continue to explore South American, and this week are on a boat cruising from the southernmost city in South America, going north through a beautiful inland channel. When they get back on land they will travel overland to Buenos Aires and will then spend a couple of weeks in Uruguay. What an adventure!
