Cathy, I was thinking last night that I was glad that I was sick this week and not last week or I would not have been able to see you and your family. I went to the doctor on Tuesday for a physical and Tuesday night was when I started feeling like I might be coming down with something and the next morning, I felt horrible. I figure I picked up something in the doctor's office. You know what they say about staying healthy, "Stay out of hospitals" and I guess that goes for doctor's office also. Today, the faucet is consistently dripping. I think I overdid it today. Went to the office and worked until 6:30 tonight. Had planned to stay a couple of hours.

Clay, you look so handsome in your karate outfit and congratulations on receiving your blue belt. Talking about looks, Howie's family and I enjoyed visiting Cathy, Jeremy and the twins on Friday. I enjoyed so much holding and changing a diaper (even though I don't think I did such a good job, think I've lost touch) for the twins. I know the two of you have your hands full, but they really are such good babies. I'm just sorry that I don't live closer so that I could help you out more often. But if you need a little help for a few days, let me know and I can come on Thursday and stay through Sunday.
My memory is getting so bad, Hannah and Christie, I just came acorss cards that I meant to wrap with the children's gift from Highlights. I know that I paid for them, have the children been getting them? If know let me know so that I can follow up on them.

I have been sick in bed for the last two days, and you know if I stayed in bed for two days, I did not feel well. Am now feeling better and Gene says that after I've taken a shower and washed my hair I sure look better. I did not even wash my face or comb or brush my hair. Hey I guess I better get to bed again before I no longer feel better.

The Jones Family

Hope everyone is doing well! Especially Jeremy, Cathy, & the twins. We are looking forward to visiting in the near future. We enjoyed spending time with Margaret, Chris, and the kids last week (Amber & Clay the most). Things are going well with us. I included a picture of Clay getting his blue belt in karate. He really enjoys it. Jason & Amber are geared up for softball season, practice starts next week. And me, well I'm along for all the rides. Take Care & Love Ya All!
