Travel Time

In one week I'll be flying on my way to visit family. The first travel I've done since flying out to help Terry. North Carolina mostly, to see my mother, but stopping on the way to visit Forest and Betty in Richmond and then riding with Mitch and Raidah and boys to Sylva. Three weeks after leaving, I'll be arriving back home to Maine.

Well. It's not the most exciting thing on the Internet, but it is my first attemp at a post in a while. Inspired partly by having borrowed an iPad from the library and wanting to try out the keyboard function. Oddly, there seem to be no navigation arrows at all. Moving the cursor must needs be done manually (and for my fat little fingers, that is innacurrate at best).

End of Terry's Updates.

January of 2011, 
Terry Una Lee Phillips died after a year-long farewell to friends and family. 
 With the help of family and friends, 
she was able to stay in her own home.
Cared for at the end by Ron Phillips 
and their children Sastun and Alina 
with help from the Vancouver Island Health Authority
 and its many caring and dependable employees.

Alina and Sastun live with their father 
not far from their former home in Cobble Hill. 
 Tina is back in Maine with husband Dan & daughter Angelica. 
Rose has sold the Cheerhope home 
and lives in a small brick house in Sylva, 
across the road from the City Lights bookstore and Cafe. 
Marie lives with her friend Jim, also in Sylva. 
 Ron Lee has moved to Ashville for the dancing; 
Forrest & Betty Clapp have moved into an apartment 
where they have access to assistance with health and meals when needed.

Time changes all, and all are changed.
