Florida family reunion

   Dear Family and Friends,

   Florida is wonderful.  Not warm, as it is experiencing this cold snap for the first few days we are here, but friendly.

   My brother Norton, my cousin Barbara and husband Paul, and George and I are here visiting cousin Patty and her sweetheart Larry.  We have seen Gert, my alternate mother, and Marcy and Jeff and the kidlets.

   And Patty has turned somersaults to be sure that I had organic foods and bottled water and all the things I need for my new restrictive diet.

   For those of you that I have been whining to about my constipation, I am still having some problems, but am no longer in pain. And I am sleeping well here.

   Norton, Barbara and Paul all returned home on Sunday, so now this week it is Rest and Relaxation (and Eating).  We played Yahtzee last night, and Patty won 2 out of 2 games, with a Yahtzee in each game.  We went to a flea market (an annual treat for me),

   We leave on Friday, and meet up with my sister-in-law Ellen, who is staying over in San Francisco just to see us.  She and I will go to see Darcy and Terry and children, and then she leaves on Sunday to go back to Boston.

   And I return to Mexico early Monday, with Tanya, so I can resume treatment.

   Life is good!  Thank you, Patty, for taking such good care of me!

Love, Carol
