Sisters and the weather

The weather finally got cold enough to drive Joyce and I out of our Tivas and shorts. Last weekend Joyce's three remaining sisters came to visit her. It has been a tough year for her side of the family. They have dealt with two cancers, the death of the oldest sister, Dorothy, and Joyce's ongoing Alzheimer's. Of course Joyce has no comprehension of any of this and I doubt that you could do anything to make her understand. As it is so often said, "that is a good thing". She is still the happy camper and seems to be holding steady except for the an occasional fit of obstinence when I am in a hurry and need her cooperation. Two sisters were here in April and thought she was better than when they came then. One hadn't seen her since before we bagan the enbrel effort and said she saw a marked improvement. Outside opinions are encouraging.
We had our regular medical check up and all is well, we both even lost a little weight. Thanks to all of those still keeping up. Your prayers are greatly appreciated.
