BIG 95TH BIRTHDAY BASH FOR DAD
We were delighted to hear from Mavis this afternoon that the birthday celebration for Dad at the Church came off really well, with 61 "clan" members present. Most of the Lassey cousins were there, and Dad remembered most people who were there. The food was terrific, catered by a local chef from Fairview. Dad might have been a little overwhelmed by the crowd and the noise, but really seemed to enjoy himself nonetheless.
Stan and Marilyn Winter were not there, but they called Dad yesterday morning. Mavis was at Dad's and said Stan and Marilyn would love to have some family visits in California! We have intended to visit them several times but always were side-tracked by family illness, and have not made it there in recent years.
Dad had an exam on his bladder last week, and has three cancer cells on the wall of the bladder. They will not try to treat it, in part because the Dr. says that it is slow growing and is unlikely to cause major problems other than some discomfort. His congestive heart failure would be a problem for any treatment, in any case.
The farming has not yet started on the ranch, largely because of cool and damp weather. It is getting a bit late in the season to get started. The calves are arriving in droves!
One little story that tickles us: Abbie told Dad he had to stand in the corner because he was a bad boy. So, Dad stood in the corner until Abbie said it was okay for hime to leave. Cute, indeed!
A PLEA FOR PHOTOS
As soon as I receive some photos of the celebration, I will post them on the blog! SO, HERE IS A PLEA TO EVERYBODY TO SEND SOME!!
A NEW CONDO
We are all moved into our "new" condo, and enjoy it! It is compact compared to the house, but just right for a couple of 74-year-olds who don't want all the work of maintaining house and yard! The house sale is proceeding smoothly, and hopefully will be closed by the end of the month.
Cheers,
Bill and Marie
