NOTE:  Please keep my Father and our Family in your prayers.  He started having balance problems in the last two weeks.  Yesterday he could not walk by himself.  The drs have found a Brain Tumor  on the Right Frontal Lobe.  They believe that it is Cancer.  Because of the fact that he is on Coumadin for his heart and his recent heart surgery, they will not be able to operate until they can get his blood thickened.  We expect for him to go to surgery later this week.  He is in good spirits and is prepared for what ever may happen.  He and my Mother have been married 67 years.  This is hard on her, but she also is prepared as best as she can be for the next step.  I will continue to get the blog printed each day, but it may not always be early in the morning.  Thanks for all the support that my family has had from our chili friends in the last couple of days.   Janice
