  FOR  NOW
  
  A few short days,
  Breaking bread and such,
  Then we each go  ourways,
  Buoyed in spirit, oh much.

    Visiting with relatives and friends,
  Reliving old days,
  Good things come to good ends,
  And so we part.

  Good bye, Godspeed,  friend and brother,
  Take care,
   For we have no other.

  Heather,  their cousin Gwen and Don, yesterday.

  Don got sick 4th of July which turned out to be a Strep infection in his lower brain.  
  Perhaps caused by a fall he had that  became infected and passed in
  his blood to his brain.   He underwent surgery and heavy doses
  of antibiotics after  surgery was complete.     His driver's license was
  taken from him after surgery.    He just got that back three days ago
  after undergoing all kinds of physical  and mental therapy for months.    He had to
  learn to walk and talk and such things.    He has done remarkably well, considering.
  Feeling hale and hearty he drove over to see us and family from his home in Duschene, Utah.
  We had a super visit,   he called this evening and let us know he is spending
  the night with friends in Green River, Wyoming and then going  
  on to his home.      He spent several months with his daughter and
  family over in Utah before he began moving around on his own.
  The rascal is in better shape than I am.
