Boys, we broke our computer and there is a delay so it may be some time before I can get back on schedule. I will make no more posts until the job is done. Meanwhile, we are well except for the usual old age problems which are being closely watched. Nana is out to lunch with her friend Doris for her birthday. I am more than frustrated about the computer delay but am encouraged that it will work out well. I did lose a classmate on Friday night. We were friends for 85 years. We talk about and remember you two every day, will always love you and we will see you soon. I will be back to you as soon as possible. granddaddy

Fellows, Grandaddy has been very busy this week trying to get some wordk done on his genealogy efforts; however with a reluctant computer, seeing problems and the usual things that must be done every day it has not been very productive. Nana hs had a pretty good week. She is stilling fetting birthday calls and cards from her friends. She is annoyed at me this morning as I snorted beginning avour 3 AM and no matter how often she hunched me i did not stop so she got up at5 AM. She is fpreparing breakfast now and I will be thankful for her as all three of us used to be. We were lucky that she took enough interest in us to love and take care of us. WE are having a very wet period, in fact the whole country is having a terrible time with worms and floods. many people have lost their lives and many mmore their homes. I worry about the large trees around us and pray that they do not fall on our hme. We miss you companionship and i pray that when my time comes we will e reunited. We l

Boys this has been a hectic dahI planted in your outdoor space years ago. It was getting too close to the house. The week has not been a good one either. I mistakenly clicked on an icon which reset my computer and lost a series of saved apps. Lucky still have my Google browser although it no longer has the flexibility it once provided and if I update it everything in it will be lost.Ww had a quiet Friday which was the 2050th anniversary of the establishment of the USA. Things are going well forUSA as we had several illegal immigrants let in the country over the last four years and the new president is being heavy handed to address their problems he inherited. Nana is taking a nap and needs one. she has had a busy week and I would not be writing this without her help with the computer. No rain today but that will change with raub expected every day next week. We need the comforting warmth that you two always gave us in such times. We will always love you. Grandaddy.

Fellows, this week has been quieter than usual.  We attended Church on the live streaming TV Sunday, Monday we attended choesand , and walked omPG. We repeated that on Tuesday and exhausted ourselves by walking too early after the previous day. Wednesday we attended my AHS class of 1950 luncheon in Asheboro. Thursday the cleaning lady came and stayed all day! Feiday we deakt wutg our personal hobbies. I Didn't get much done on my biological tree.  All during the week nana has been helping the sister of our friend who just completed her time on earth.  Wehave had three mice and managed to catch two of them and the third ran out the garage door with some gentle poking.  How we are OK for a while on dat score. A skunk was in the back yard one day and you two would have to bee in the house to save all of us some problems.  We miss you and will always love you both. Granddady

Boys Summer has arrived with a series of extremely hot days projected for the next few days.High humidity and rain has already made going out tside for any period of time uncomfortable and unhealthy. Nana has been driving us over to Pleasant garden so we can walk on an indoor track of the church. It can sometimes be busy and it takes longer to do a mile and when we get back in the car it is nearly qoo F. It will be higher than that next week. Still we need the exercise as I am having difficulty walking. I fell in front of the Piedmont Drugstore and was fortunate enough to catch myself and get back up with no injury. My eyes are also in worse qhch makes virtually everything affected. I spend more time working on the computer tryin to operate it than I do eneratin any usable results. prepared. Y are sorely missed when cold wet weather, hot humid days and frustrating days is overwhelming. You two always mde bad things better. Grandasddy will be wirh you soon. We love you.

Fellows, Nana is spending as much time as possible with two friends in the Hospice facility in Greensboro asoneer sister has been admitted for her last days. I paid my resorts to both after I completed my retina MD on Friday. I will see my other eye MD in six months. While there had been some small damage since my last visit I did not have to have an eye injection although he thought it may be necessary on my follower in 6 months. I also saw my heart MD this week and all seemed to be OK, Nana goes to the dentist Monday and I hope the only Md visit is next week. the weather remains its severity with storms aroos rhr fffountry. My eye problems are some servers that it takes me a very long time to work the computer for the simpliests of task. Genealogy is takes me too much time althoughI love it as a hobby. I expect to see you soon so please remember that Granddady misses you, Grandaddy

The house has been cleaned inside and out. I have three medical checkup visits scheduled for next week. There is more but I have shared too much already. In times like this make your physical asence very difficult for us but we trust that you are watching over us along with our angles. I hope the next update will be a little more cheerful. We love you both and those four legged companions that precedes you. My best memories include all. Grandaddy

Boys, a mother routine week for us with one exception. We have finally been able to return to weekly walks at the Pleasant Garden church. On Thursday I wore my self out completing ta mile without a brother or a drink of water. Came home and the ate food which turned out to a mistake. I had to goto bed about 5PM and did not get up to stay until 10 AM. I felt much better did my chores as usual; however, Nana considered me still ill and canceled attending a funeral service with Brian. We have had rain every day of the week so nothing has been done outside. Murphy would not want to go out and Harper would not want come in. Times like this we love and miss you two more than usual. I certainly could have used your d your warmth and support on my bad day. We love you then and always will. Granddaddy

s had plans to vote this week for working on my genealogy' however day would bring things that had to be done instead so I ended the week pleased about what was accomplished and even more determined to spend every moment possible on that chore. This is a 3 day weekend for the country so most people have family oriented visits scheduled. We are pretty well up to date on that issue so we have opted for a quiet 4 days. We did finally get to the indoor track at the Baptist Church in Pleasant Garden and managed a couple of days to walk one mile. I hope we can do the same next week. lee was over this week and we managed to get some tree work done. I still want to cut down the tree i had planted in the area which belonged to youtwo. We seldom have a visitor with an hour or two for that possibility dog but one shows up we will not allow them in your house so they stay there for the short time their arnts re visitingmeantime remember that Nana and I love you and always will.

Gentle companions, Except for so many touch ups the encapsulation of the crawl space is considered complete. I must wait for a couple of days without rain to do that as well as cut up and remove a small branch which has fallen from a larger tree. This siege of rainstorms and tornadoes has thrown a keen interest in the weather all over the US. Nana was pleased to get good results on her cancer follow up visit to Chapel Hill. She goes back again on schedule and if it still looks OK she will be released. A visit to her eye specialist also went well and she goes back in a year for a follow up visit. As I tried to say last week she will be without me sooner rather than later and I'm trying to get as much done in her house so she is not saddled with problems I should have fixed. I have so much to do and so little time to do it, We find ourselves talking about you two every day. We love you so and that love extends through the veil. o will be with you soon and we will love Granddaddy
