Sharon spent a long weekend in Wisconsin at the end of April, staying with Steve and Beth in Appleton. Sharon, Steve and Beth (and Mello, their chocolate lab) spent a day in Madison with Sharon's 88-year-old dad. Other visits included a wonderful dinner in Milwaukee with brother Richard and wife Ann, and another wonderful dinner in Green Bay with sister Kathy and husband Tom. Grandfather is still pretty sharp, but physically weak He is well cared for at Oakwood Village, and receives frequent visits from his pastor, and from the Gallaghers and the Joynts. Beth and Steve have gone down to see him a couple of times, too. Sure wish it could be easier, but if you're blessed with longevity, growing old can be a real challenge.
