Lots of visitors

This has been a busy two and a half weeks. My sister Eva and her husband Jim arrived on the 9th of October. They drove out from West Virginia. They wanted to come to Kent funeral but we decided that it would be better for all of us if they came this fall when they could spend some time with me. They were here for 15 days. I really enjoyed having them. We spent a lot of time at home just being together. I felt sorry for Jim as I know that he had to of gotten bored with the two of us. He kept saying that he wasn't bored and if he had of been bored he would went and done something. We did go to Yuma to visit with Ali and family while they were here. Ali just had to many things going on to come up here. We spent time at Nicole's, too. Eva wanted us to spend her birthday together. It had been fifty-two years since we had been together for either of our birthdays. Her birthday was on the 23th and they left on the 24th. Chris, one of Kent's sons, flew in the morning that they left. I went to the airport and picked him up. I did manage to get the sheets washed and back on the bed before I went to the airport to pick him up. He came down from Utah to run in a "Half Ironman". He did the competition today. He didn't do as well as he had hoped but that is ok. It was great having him here. He reminds me so much of his dad. I took him to the airport this evening. He has to go to work in the morning. Hope he feels up to it. Now I have an empty house. (Sad)

Been to Yuma

I went to Yuma on the 2nd of October and spent a few days with Alison and her family. We had a great time working on PTO stuff, setting at Sam's Club on a floor model sofa, having lunch together and just spend time together. MaKenzie became my hair dresser while I was there. She brushed and combed my hair and put all shapes and sizes of barrettes in it. She had fun and I enjoyed having my hair messed with. I returned home on the 6th and started getting things ready for my sister and husband's visited. They will be here either tomorrow night or early in the day on Thursday. I am excited for their visit. I haven't seen them since Kent and I left their place last August, after she was released from the re-hab center. I have been spending a part of every day with my daughter, Nicole, that lives here in Queen Creek. She had a baby on the 8th of September. She has four little ones. The oldest turned six on the 29th of September. I love feeling that I am needeed.
