Cousin Ford

By
Hi Guys,

I just got off the phone with Ford. He is going to be in the hospital for a few weeks. The surgery went well and for the first time he will eventually be able to have an unrestricted diet. It's been decades since that has happened last.
Timmy (I say this with reverance as he is MUCH older than I) insisted on taking Ford to the hospital and Ford attributes him being alive because of his brothers intervention.
As I said Ford is still in the hospital and is pretty far from home. I talked to him on his cell but it sounds like he is on a satellite phone. The hospital number might be better for sound, or you could confuse him and do both at the same time. Joe and Denise had been to see him today.
It was good to talk to him and his spirits are up (due to operation thing not me chatting with him).

Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...
