Dealing with still more family emergencies. Attended my great uncle John’s funeral yesterday; he was my Grandma’s last remaining sibling. And my Grandpa Olson’s sister Myrt was just rushed to the hospital today, my great aunt Pearl had been taking care of her and is frantic. Plus my parents are visiting from out of town, it’s all rather chaotic. Updates may come at odd hours or not at all this weekend.
