Helen Violet Carey

Dad called this morning to let me know that my grandma was in the hospital with pneumonia. I knew that she had a cold, but I guess her immune system couldn't fight it off. She should be okay, but I hate it when anyone has to take a trip to the hospital. They are so cold & depressing. Hopefully she won't have to be there long.

I'm not sure when I'll be traveling to Arkansas again. Probably after all the holidays are over & I finish my seasonal framing job.

Turns out that one man died in that fire I mentioned. He was 80 years old & they were evicting everyone from the building for demolition. The theory is that he had nowhere else to go & so he shot himself & set the building on fire. The police found a gun among the man's belongings. Apparently it had been fired. Poor old man, he'd been living there for over 40 years & at 80 probably couldn't handle the stress of moving.

Aging is a bitch, so get out there & bust a move while you're young.
