Jerry Weber is in the hospital in Denver. His address is: St. Joseph's Hospital - 1375 E. 19th Ave. - Room 5313 - Denver, CO 80218. I'm sure he would enjoy cards from everyone. Hope you're better soon and back home, Jerry.

My Mom fell last Wednesday and was in the hospital overnight for observation. She is back at the Legacy and feeling better. She sure has lots of shades of purple on the left side of her face and eye. I told her she could start a new fad for eye shadow. She didn't think so!!

January 17, Vern and JoAnn Harris hosted their annual Liver and Onion dinner for their children, Tammy, Rick and Tim in celebration of their birthdays. I don't understand what you did that you have to eat liver and nions (UGH) but hope you had happy birthdays in spite of it.
