Jakob McEntyre Puster is (4) four years old today

I have not called him yet. Betsy and I are goine to call him later this afternoon. We wanted to go over for his Birthday and visit with Jeff's Mom & Dad. They came down from Ohio to visit. They don't miss the Boys Birthdays if at all possible. We were in Birmingham last week for a visit at UAB Hospital. I had two out-patient surgeries on Wednesday and Thursday. On wednesday they removed several skin tags and what I call other ugly looking things around my neck and upperr chest. Thursday a differrent Doctor removed a cancer from my left ear. They took a small piece of my ear. But if you know me and my Great Uncle Jessie I could stand to give up a bit. After that I just did not feel like I could keep up with Puster Klan for the weekend. Jeff's Mom has more energy than jake and Reilly. They are good down home folk from farm country in Ohio. You would love them both.

We plan to go over later on a weekend when they have Reilly and have a little party for Jake.

I painted yesterday. I also have another project that I started that I would hope to be well along with it when Glenda comes up the first of June. By the way, I think that my instructor from the Folk School will be here one day that Glenda is here. I am working on it anyway. I am having a hard time getting Glenda tied down on her schedule. She is having Family there for the weekend and doesn't know when they are leaving. I am really looking forward to her visit.

My instructor from the Folk School has agreed to come here twice a month for a lesson. She is not only a good Artist but also a good instructor. I feel luck that she lives only 70 miles away. Even living that far away she comes to Cleveland often to shop. There is nothing around where she lives in the hills of NC.

Got to go for now. I am going to have lunch and call Jake.

Well, Jake was too busy to be bothered with a phone call. I think he was riding his new Four Wheeler. He had a big Birthday Party yesterday, that is when he got the four-wheeler.

Let me make something clear as you read my BLOG. I can't spell shet. So make the best of it I only use spell check if I am asking for money. Now back to where I was talking, typing, telling what ever I am doing.

Talked to Dawn she is sick with a cold or something. She sounded stuffed up.

I am trying not to take much pain medication because it makes me feel sleepy and tired and I have to take a nap. I am like Jake I hate to take a nap when I could be Painting or working on my other Project. Richard, who keeps our yard, flowers and anything else outside that I can't do myself (which is damn little). He maintains several yards around us. His Mom lives next door. Richard had a brain tumor removed some time ago and he is a little slow and his short time memory is not very good. I have a special feeling about him because of my Brother-in-Law Charlie Mayfield (That is a story for another day.) I keep a clipboard hanging on the outside wall so that I can give him a list of what he needs to do and I also have a time sheet for him. It works good for us. He keeps our outside looking good!

Back to Jake. He has a bit of his Mom, PaPa John and Aunt Connie in him and if you know these people you understand what I am talking about. We will talk to him later. Dawn said he would call us later. He is so busy with Grand Ma and Grand Pa. They get every moment they can whth Daw Jeff and the Boys. They are so far away they don't see them very often. That is another reason we don't go over at the same time, that way they have them all to therselves with out having to share their few hours with us.

Well I don't feel like typing anymore right now. The pain is back so I might take that nap after all.
