Coffee Break Today

We took a coffee break this morning with our former neighbors, Lois and Don, Elnore and Rose. Donna and Gene weren't there as they have already left for Texas for most of the winter. They have already moved out of our old house and have an apartment at Prairie View. It is only 2 rooms. What a drastic change. Donna isn't happy but she has alzheimers and it is for the best as she already doesn't remember from day to day. We will be watching Lois and Don's house again for the winter and sending her some mail she requested. They are going to the Black Hills today or as far as they can get and then on to Arizona after a few days in the Black Hills. Don has rigged up a thermostat and light and when the light goes on Elnore will call us and we will go over because that means something has gone wrong with their furnace. Rose isn't doing very well but for 89 she is doing pretty good. Her son and his wife want her to move in with them and I think the time is getting very very close but I can sort of imagine how hard it is to leave your home forever. Lois is planning for this to be their last trip to Arizona as she will be 75 and Don is 80. She had her cataracts removed and doesn't wear glasses anymore except for reading. She looked different without glasses. We had a good visit over coffee, pecan rolls and homemade bars. Had a little lunch and now for a nap.
