   Well we started out the week thinking that we were losing Grandpa, but it turned out to be a false alarm. Now I think we're in for a much longer goodbye. He seems comfortable, for the most part, and has his sense of humor, still intact. They have had lots of company this week, which has helped, I think.
   Gran had a procedure on her back last week, that didn't seem to help at first, but today, she went to all three meetings at Church...first time, in a long time, she's been able to do that. So perhaps it was more helpful than we thought!
   Work is good, I'm feeling really good about the Monday - Friday girl who is taking over medication reconciliation for me. Now it's time to start training the two weekend people. And my boss, Mikel, is being wonderful about the situation with Grandpa. She is fine with me going home to help Grandma when I need to,  and even suggested that I work from home sometimes.
   Aimee, Ben, Sam, Heidi, I wanted you to know that Loretta Forbush passed away. For the rest of you, she had been the head cook at Parker-Egin elementary for many years, and made it so hard for our kids to eat school lunch when we moved to Denver.
    Thanks to Stephen, for the very nice  letter I got this week.
   Happy ninth birthday to Naomi on Wednesday!
   Dad is heading to Washington D.C. on Friday, and won't be home for a week or so. We'll miss him around here! He'll be meeting with the Idaho legislators etc...
   Ben, Gran said yesterday that she'd sure like to get a report on your trip. Could you please give her a call one day soon?
   I got my general class call sign yesterday.  It is KG7RBS. It's okay,  but I think I'll still try to get my old one back.
   Love to you all! Mom/Johanna/Nana
