Merry Christmas!

Jean has been very weak, and not talking much. His mind seems to fade in and out.
Last evening he was really peaceful and calm when John went to check on him at bedtime.

Jean said, "I'm really happy that everything worked out so well."
John asked him what he meant.
Jean repeated, "I'm really happy that everything worked out so well."

John: "It's because you've done so much good all your life."

Jean: "Well I tried."

Happy Thanksgiving, belatedly!

We hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!
I wanted to post a photo from a Thanksgiving long ago, in Oregon, but I haven't found it yet.
Sorry I have not posted any news for a little while, but there has not been anything special to report.

Jean is weaker, but otherwise he is about the same. His appetite is very good. Currently he enjoys watching Ken Burns documentaries on the tv in his room. There are a lot of very interesting ones. Recently it was the Roosevelts - Teddy, FDR and Eleanor. Personally, I find the black and white photos and film footage from those days especially fascinating.

Currently he is watching a documentary about the early days of the West.
