CAUTION: Woman In Progress

So ya'll know about Granny, right? She's been in the hospital with double pneumonia since Monday. She's doing a lot better and could possibly go home today. Haven't heard for sure, though.

I recall once when I was around Emmy's age that he, his wife, daughter and grandson came to our house for a short visit on their way to somewhere. And that was the only time I recall having seen him until his wife died a few years ago. After his wife died, he remarried quickly. He met his current wife (now his widow) while their spouses ...
