Hartley had a stroke back in March, he was improving in April, he had evened out in May, and taken a turn for the worse in June. He’s in the hospital now while they try to figure out what to do next.
Lona is soooo tired. She asked me ‘quick, quick, what’s the name of that dictator in Cuba?’ ‘Castro’ I replied. ‘Castro! Castro!’ she called out. After a couple of call-outs this fellow turned around. Can you see his name tag? Fidel. He took it in such good spirit. ‘It happens all the time’ he said.
