Cathy,

Thanks! These pictures will really help make Aunt Gladys' section of the show more interesting. I would even mention Uncle Mickey and how they met if I had a picture of the two of them together. Or a picture of him alone in uniform. I think you showed me a picture of them together once, and it had another couple in it with them.

I would love it if Aunt Gladys was closer to Mother and I do wish you'all could move down here to Wynne. It's just a problem wondering how in the heck you would earn a living in a small town like that. And I stay so very busy I wouldn't have much time to help you guys out or get over to Wynne to see you. I never dreamed that things would get so hectic and money would be so hard to earn, but it's true and happening to all my friends. We are all poorer and working harder than we did in the 80's or 90's.

Yes, it would be possible for Aunt Gladys to move into Wesley Highland Manor, and they would probably co-operate in putting them in the same room. It's not a great place to look at, but I must say that everybody who works on Mother's floor is kind and very good about treating the residents with respect and kindness.

It's hard to tell how well Mother would even understand that Gladys was with her again, but on some level I know it would mean a lot to both of them.

How is Kasey? Is she sick or still having health problems? I hope not. Tell everyone I said hello.
