The name Sheard is not familiar to me. However, I have some on The Hewitts
due to their connection to the Simses. I need to get with you on some of
yours. I don' think I have the Cathers-Rogers-etc lines straight. Guess I
need to spend more time and get it right. I have so much I should get it
all typed and into book form or on a CD. Philip has been working on my
Bakers and has Armstead to Elizabeth done. They were in alphabetical
order. Maybe he will add more to it.
You never did stop in for a visit. How are you all? I haven't been going
out. Two weeks ago today I went to the Dr. Philip took me to their son's
for a birthday dinner Sunday. I could get out, but I'm afraid when I get
out, I will fall and I've had enough broken leg bones. I do walk out to my
mail box once a day unless I see the carrier doesn't stop.
It was good to hear from you. I talk to Patsy omce in a while and Bart and
I e-mail. Patsy is confined much of the time with Henry unless someone is
there to stay with him.
These "Golden Years" have tarnished.
Good to hear from you.
