Today is the funeral for John L. Flynn. He was a brother to Mary Ella. He was a fraternity brother in college and he set his sister and I up on a blind date. I remember picking her up at the nurses residences and they were girls hanging around the lobby.  They were down there to check out her date.

For Tuesday, May 12th

Joe has a new pet!

A Mini Pot Belly Pig.

"Charles" likes to be held like a baby.

He is almost impossible to catch once he 

starts running! Same goes for the pig. It's a sight to

see, with all of us running around trying to catch him.

Charles sure likes sleeping with his new

BFF JoJoe. We are good caretakers, we are sending 

Joe home with a pig and a tattoo (which can be seen on his arm if 

you look closely at the picture).
