Helge in Stuttgard had to put his mother in a Home. It seems her alzheimers is progressing much faster than Omas did ,I think she is maybe 78. Marielies also wrote. She is skiing somewhere in Europe and her sister and mother are in Cuba. They get all over the world. God bless that Euro. We just got back from Pa. It is a lot of fun to watch Andy and Grace sledding onto the lake. People are out on snowmobiles. Thats how thick the ice is. The skiing was great. Last week I skied Mt Snow in Vermont. That was awesome. I worked my knees and thighs into a spasm. Great fun.
