Note from Bob Kline: "Thank you Joyce for your concern and congratulations. Grandkids are an unending source of joy in our lives. Well, Jan and I keep rolling along, securely attached to our rollators and fully adjusted to hibernation. Health-wise, Jan contends with vertigo and I, with ALS. Fortunately, I can still drive and maintain my independence. The Veteran’s Association has stepped up and awarded me disability compensation and furnished funds for home adaptations that make it easier and safer to carry out normal living tasks. I will be going to the UC Davis ALS Clinic next week to determine treatment protocols. Jan has been a wonderful caretaker and has her hands full with a cantankerous old codger. We have decided that our beloved LWW home is too much to manage so we have purchased a smaller, single-story home in Eskaton Village. Escrow closes December 10. So, between doctor’s appointments and down-sizing we will be quite busy in the weeks ahead. Our gracious and extremely helpful neighbors have been very supportive and we will deeply miss them. We will keep our LWW home until our move and all the adaptations we need are complete. COVID 19 throws a shroud over what all of us can do but we will keep our eyes on the prize. Regrettably, because of all that we face, I will be limiting what else I do. I will try to sit in on our Zoom meetings from time to time so keep me informed when they will take place. R/ Bob and Jan" Mark your calendars: WOW Points collection at Holiday Market...November 21? and Dec 5? doubling checking on these dates.... Penn Valley Rotary Club board meeting: Nov 17, noon Area 4 Youth Services committee meeting...Monday, Nov 9 at 4:30 pm...connect with PP Lindy if you want to join in... Stay safe, healthy and PURPLE!!
