Mother would laugh, Dad would grumble and do something

Jerry and Jane are having a party, the only hitch is you have to get sick to go.

Jerry says he has a Home for Wayward Sisters.

Jerry just thought he wanted to have a quiet week reading.
Jane just thought she wanted to retire from nursing.
Janice just thought she would take care of Jean.
Jean just thought the worst was over.

Then the ice storm hit.

It is still slick in OK with more storms on the way. Jerry finally has most of Jean's paraphernalia moved to their house. Janice is out of the hospital with her paraphernalia and installed at Jerry and Jane's along with Jean and her paraphernalia. Janice had/has congestive heart failure brought on by COPD. I hope I have that right. Jane is still running to the pharmacy for all pharmaceutical needs. I don't know who is doing the cooking. Jean said the cats are going nuts with all the medical stuff strewn around; oxygen hoses, walkers, bath benches. Nobody lost power. Amber has been sliding into work. Kansas wasn't hit. School has been out.

Seattle is fine.

Jean are you doing your exercises?

Everyone is on the mend, even good news about Joe Elliott, he is responding and being moved to a new facility. Let the celebration begin.

Like I said, Mother would laugh and probably make some jelly rolls and enjoy the fun, beauty, good news, and party. Dad would sigh and grumble and make sure there were chains for the tires, firewood for the fireplace, a fully functioning water pump, and wonder if Jerry could handle it all. Ain't life grand.
