It's another beautiful weekend...
Yesterday I received a phone call from Earl! I was so happy to hear from him. He is doing well. He was having difficulty getting what he wanted to say out so he handed the phone to his wife. His wife? I told him I didn't know he was married. He chuckled and said she was his ex-wife but that she was so good to him that it really didn't make any difference. He also told me that they thought he was having another stroke so they took him to the hospital via medi-flight and he just got the bill this week - $16,000. He laughed about that too. Apparently, California isn't the only place full of craziness. I'm just glad to know he is being well taken care of.

It just makes you see how good God is and how good life can be. Sometimes we can't see the big picture. It helps to read stories like this one!I definitely think Earl has the right attitude!

Oh what wonderful news in one respect. I am glad you found him his way home and that he is being taken care of. I am very sorry that now he might be having other health issues. But no matter what...at least he has someone to care about him....what more could he ask for in life? Keep us posted anytime you get news...seems he has become apart of this blogging world too. Ha Ha Ha, whether he likes it or not!
