Janice,

Sorry that I haven't written in a while. I really appreciate that cell phone you sent. I have been busy trying to find a signal. I will keep working on that but in the mean time, here's a note.

I am amazed at you stamina working two jobs. Who knew that rehab could be so expensive? I wonder why his insurance is not covering it? Have you been allowed to see Bert yet? I hope it is soon.

Elrod should be getting his cast off this week. Nimrod has decided to stay on at the farm Elrod bought next door and leave migrant work behind. He still isn't quite use to sleeping inside a house yet. But, at least, he wear's pajamas now when he sleeps on the porch.

Did I tell you that Lucky and her pups are stars now on the internet? One of the high school biology students came out and did a video on Lucky. She fell in love with the pups. She talked me into letting her name them. So now's there's a poll out there on the web to name them. Who would believe that Gimp and Grace would be the top two names? Stumpy and Stagger are a close second. I wish that I had named them already.

Well, write when you can. What day is your day off from the all night diner? Do you get the same day off from the orthopedic office? I will call you as soon as I find a signal and I don't want to wake you. I get up at 5:00am, Elrod let's me sleep late thanks to Nimrod, if you want to keep trying to call me on the cell phone.

Stay safe,
Beatrice
