And, through the use of modern technology, here is a photo of newborn grandson!

NEWS FLASH..... Our newest grandson, Abel Bishop Frieling, was born at 748am this morning. He is 20.5 inches long and weighed in at 8 lb 12 oz! Hoohaa!!! glenn514:mug:

I must admit that there are days where I simply cannot...CANNOT...get up the energy to go and visit her. But someone very wise reminded me that I have to take care of ME! If I don't take care of me, I certainly can't very well take care of her! Her condition is not good, and the future offers...

Stopped in to see Marie after my chiropractic appointment this morning. She was, once again, awake and alert. She did nod off before the CNA's came in to change her. And SHE decided she wanted to stay in bed...not sit in the chair! The only unusual thing was the fact that the bathroom sink...

Marie was much less responsive today than she was yesterday. Perhaps I just caught her at her "down" time. While her eyes were opened, I don't know if she realized that I was in the room. The housekeeping lady came in and cleaned the room, and I don't think Marie even noticed her presence...

Last night, I visited Marie with Amanda, Jim and Liesl. The newlyweds returned on Saturday from their honeymoon in France, and Amanda was in Chicago for a scientific conference. When I arrived at around 530pm, she was in bed, but was awake and aware. She nodded to me that she did not feel...

The newest grandchild will be born by planned c-section this Thursday, 22 October. The only reason for the c-section is because of previous c's with the other children. And YES, the immediate family knows what sex the baby is...Joy and Nathan decided to find out this time, and let Marie know...

Today, Marie sure did seem to be having a GOOD day! When I arrived, she was sitting in her chair, and was as alert and awake as I have seen in awhile! Although she did not say anything to me, she did nod her head YES when I asked her if she felt OK today! Some of these medications must make...

At first, I thought it would be a rather sucky birthday, but it turned out well. Some longtime friends came to take me to lunch, and then we visited Marie. Three of my four daughters called, giving me birthday wishes. The fourth one was still in France on her honeymoon...I'll forgive her for...

Our friends Ron and Carol Kamprath arrived shortly before noon, and we had a delicious lunch at Flatlander! Then, we adjourned to home, where I took the time to bring both of them completely "up-to-speed" on what happened to Marie. Then, we drove over to Hearthstone and visited with Marie...

Are you using a "priming sugar calculator" at bottling? I had a couple of batches that produced "gushers" as well as "bottle bombs." I discovered that the included 5 ounces of priming sugar is simply way too much for some styles. Once I started using a calculator, the "gushers" and "bottle...

I did not get over to see Marie on Monday. I putzed around the house, starting to button it up for winter. Today during my visit with her, she was mostly awake and seemingly aware, but she was quite UNresponsive to any and all questions. Before I left, her eyelids were starting to get heavy...

When I arrived at Hearthstone for my visit with Marie today, I asked her if she was OK. She shook her head No. Shortly, Lisa and Nick [the HUGE male CNA] came in to change her and get her cleaned up. Then I knew why she was not OK! The cough is much improved. I mentioned that to the day...

As I arrived today, Karen, the usual day nurse, said the CNA's were finishing up changing Marie and moving her to the chair. Karen also mentioned that she felt the cough was much improved. When I got in the room, Marie was alert and awake, sitting in the chair. And I agree with Karen that...

The daughter that lives in your neck of the woods is the one in the white "bride" dress in the photo. Her name is Gretchen, and she works the dairy section at the Pick-n-Save in Eagle River. Her husband, Joe, is head bartender at the Gateway Lodge in Land o' Lakes. Currently, they are...

Today, during my visit with Marie, I had the opportunity to talk with Karen, the day nurse with a brain. Karen said that yes, the UTI is resistant to cipro, so they have switched her to a different antibiotic. Karen was also concerned about her continued cough. Today it is not sound as loose...

Me, too. That is my birthday, as well. My granddaughter's birthday is the 14th...close, but no cigar! glenn514:mug:

We have a grandson, Boaz, who will be four years old in December, and we have a granddaughter, Lydia, who will be two years old next week Wednesday. And #3 grandchild will be born a bit later this month. glenn514:mug:

Ooo, ooo, ooo! I just remembered that I have photos from #3 daughter's wedding of a year ago August on this computer...so here is a photo of Mom, Dad, all FOUR daughters and granddaughter! Make sure you are wearing sunglasses, both for the feminine beauty, as well as the sun reflecting off my...

And they certainly don't get their beauty from me! My dear wife had LOTS of influence on them as they grew up. Now, I've got 3/4 of them married, and the youngest one [just turned 30] has a "male friend." There is hope! glenn514:mug:
