My lil' buddy is not here today...

and I am sad!!!

Jake headed up to the Farm at Helena to help Uncle Mike with all the tree damage they have had there from the ice. They probably will have a few extra chores too as Jerry Ray Shaklee is in the hospital. He is having test today, we think at the Oklahoma Heart Hospital, but he is in Mercy Hospital in OKC. Shortness of breath, etc. Got pretty bad, but he is there now and they can fix it, so will try to keep everyone up to speed. Jerry is the Son of the late Don Shaklee, brother of Ann's father, Harold. Jerry runs hundreds of cattle on thousands of acres between Helena, Jet and Cherokee, and is always the first one with his hand out to help others, so there are several who are helping with his ranching and farming operation.
Have not heard a thing from Uncle Calvin, or Uncle Ivan on how either are doing. Hope ok!! Aunt Mert is doing ok, no news there either.
Mom has been running here there and yonder, getting new eye glasses, hearing aids, etc.. and before long she will be out cutting a rug... haha..... but she does feel better. She is starting to get Dad's things in order some and has a lot of business in town too. Jake and I have offered to take her many times, but she always .. almost always says nope, I can do it.. so we step aside. And she goes.
Really is warming up today. Weather man last evening talked of winter being over.. haha.. yea, right. Just wait till the third week in Feb. I have seen snow deeper than running boards then.. and once even saw sprinkle of snow in May!! But, it is warmer.. and as usual for Oklahoma, in a few days it is to be below freezing again.. It is 62 outside right now.. at 12:30pm. Lots of sunshine today.. how wonderful it is..
Hey, have a great day, enjoy it...
