It's a gopher! It's a car! It's — it's STUBBLEJUMPIN' GAL!: Out MARGO Way: Letters from Joanne B.

with great-grandson Landyn, age 4

Joanne's blog entries are deleted after the weekend so make sure to get caught up while sipping your Sunday morning coffee.

Thursday

It is almost Noon here , so thought I'd at least start my blog.Nothing much happens after lunch and I lay down for awhile to pass the time.

I had a wonderful surprise last night when Gerald came for a visit. He even brought the Wadena News ! Yesterday he had an A/C call to a field near Rama and got stuck when he got to the field.Luckily the farmer came along and got him out,but it would look like seeding is a ways off.

I don't know if that's where it came from or not , but while he was here , Gerald found a tick in his hair! My hands aren't good for much , but I managed to remove the tick!

I just had a facebook message from Shirley Benson saying they have moved and gave me her new phone number...I must call her tomorrow for her birthday.

Will close for now and wish everyone a good day ... the sun is shining here.

Wednesday

I have lost my blog 3 times so far..... fortunately I have not had much done each time ,so it was not too tragic.I usually say it's Wonderful Wednesday because it's the day the Wadena News arrives, but today I've been under the weather since Noon and just feel lousy. Gerald plans to come up tomorrow with the paper,so I'll be glad to see both.

Had a call today from Valerie from the Invermay Health Centre and it was good to hear from her. It has been a warm sunny day here and they have just cut the grass, so the smell is nice.One of the aides here , Kim , is a friend of Kienles.Small world.

It's time to go for supper , so we'll see how that goes.... sorry this is so short ....life is dull!! God Bless.

Monday

Our rain continues and it has been a cool and dreary day.Nothing much to report,but I felt I should write something.

I saw the therapist twice today and hope to make some progress.She is very patient and understands the pain.

I talked to both Erin and Robin today and called Marilyn Markowski.She and Otto had a 50th wedding anniversary on May 18th and plan a party at the end of July..

I e-mailed a belated birthday card to Reta Morris in Phoenix today ,,,, totally forgot it!!! I feel like I'm in a time warp here .... a lot lonelier than Invermay , but I'm having some health issues seen to.

I will close for now and get ready for bed...let's hope for sunshine tomorrow!

It's been a very rainy and cold Sunday in Yorkton..... doesn't seem much like Spring.

Today the kitchen here baked buns which we had for supper , so that was a treat.Even the aroma of them baking was a treat.

I've been in a lot of pain again today, but tonight it is lessening up a bit.Maybe it's the weather.

Gerald surprized me with a visit at supper time.....I expected him to see his Mom today and he did , but then he came here.Hopefully he won't fall asleep on his way home.A former patient here brought Robin's donuts for the staff today , so he got to have one.

I had a call from Linda Redman apound 2 PM and she said it hadn't started raining there yet.

Gerald talked to Stefan and Caitlin today and all is well. Stefan is shopping for a truck at present.

This isn't very newsy , but I will sign off for now . God Bless .

Hi Joanne,

Cold and miserable here too. I got home yesterday after a nice weekend of singing. Talked to Dad a few minutes ago; he'll attend Josie Dreveny's husband's memorial this weekend so will see Agnes and Kim.
