I am tired just typing this.....................................

I also worked today (Monday) and have to work tomorrow too.

There is a cute story I want to tell quickly:

Wes's grandma's name is Pat. She married her husband Jim (one and only huband) like 50 years ago. Jim died in 2003 (I never met Wes's grandpa Jim Sr.) So she has been widowed 6 years. She lives in a senior highrise apartment.

Well, she brought a new 'friend' to the party Saturday. His name was Roy. They grew up together. When they were really little they lived in the Harrison Home projects together and then their respective family happen to move to East Peoria together in the same neighborhood. Well, when they were teenagers I guess Roy loved Pat. He left for the army at 18 and was planning on asking her to marry him when he returned. We he returned he found out the Pat married Jim. (who she is now widowed from) She broke Roy's heart like 50 some odd years ago. (Roy did not tell Pat how much he loved her as a childhood sweetheart. So Roy married another women and life went on. Well Pat and Roy both moved to Manito. with their spouses and children. (Weird: Peoria, East Peoria, and Manito? Always living in the same town?) Well, when Jim died Roy sent Pat a sympathy card. Then last year Roy's wife died and Pat sent him a sympathy card. Well one of them called the other and they have been talking since. They now hang out together and go to dinner and things. What a love story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Almost 70 years in the making. I am so happy for her. When Jim died she turned into a huge homebody and now she is going out to dinner. That is a huge step.
