Thank you for sharing with me your recent dream about your dad coming to help you at work. Last night, I dreamed vout him, a strange dream. In my dream we were together at Christmas. Your mom and dad were separated. She was opening a 'gift' from him (while we & he looked on.) It was like a color book where he'd colored in or highlighted meaningful verbs such as could, should to express his hopes of reconciliation. In my dream, I could sense his emotions and agony. Then, I woke up.
After my mom & dad & Roger moved to Ca., I missed them terribly. Many times, I dreamed they'd come back to Mo. Once, I dreamed they were back in the old, farmhouse at Trenton, had fixed the hole in the roof and everything (inside) looked cozy and attractive.
The owners were pleased to have them there, And, of course, my heart was bursting with joy. I don't recall Roger being there. Another time, I dreamed they came back and were living somewhere so. of K.C. and we drove there. We climbed steps up a bank full of flowering shrubs/vines to a screened in porch. Once again, we were overjoyed to see one another.
Yesterday eve, I watched the 2 hour special on Farrah Fawcett. The love she and Ryan O'Neal shared made me think of Al & me, (and you & Kevin.)

On Wednesday I got Maxine (Axsom) Bradberry a vase and beautiful bouquet of flowers and , upon arriving at her assisted living residence, asked the receptionist, "is Miss Bradberry in the dining room or upstairs in her apartment?" I thought I would have lunch with her. The receptionist looked surprised: "Oh, I am so sorry - but Ms. Maxine passed away last week."....I am assuming Maxine was the eldest of all of us - at least on Daisy and Cora's branches. Her son, Bill, has been the one to take care of his family, including financial responsibilities, like selling Susan's house. First Jimmy Axsom, 70ish, died. he was living with Susan. Then Susan passed unexpectedly. Last year Madge passed on at age 94. and now his mom, who just turned 96 in February. Bill is retired, so he visits Sharon every week to make sure she is ok and has groceries. she never learned to drive. Roy and Barbara Rilling's grandson Patrick and his wife Roxanne just announced that they are expecting first baby in the fall. Debbie lives in St. Louis. Justin and wife Miriah are moving to Sacramento area this month. Cathy Ann (Aunt Vi's daughter) is a Great Grandma. Suede is 3 months old. (Tucson, AZ).
cousin Cathie Parkhurst has her 3rd grand baby! Kimber, Aiden, and now Evie!

Princeton man was thrown off tractor after southbound unit struck it while turning left
by Preston Cole
A Princeton man was seriously hurt when he was thrown off the tractor he was driving when it was struck by a tractor-trailer unit Friday morning (Feb. 8) north of Princeton.
According to an online report provided by the Missouri State Highway Patrol: GILBERT LAWSON, 44, of Princeton was driving a 2017 Case tractor south on U.S. 65, partially on the pavement and partially on the shoulder. Lawson began to make a left turn into a private drive at Smithfield Hog Production. Meanwhile, a southbound 2007 Peterbilt tractor-trailer unit, driven by Timothy Spickard, 44, of Trenton, was beginning to pass the tractor and hit it in the northbound lane of 65, throwing Lawson off it. The tractor came to rest on 65, on its wheels, facing northwest. The Peterbilt continued south, went off the east side of the road and overturned onto its side, facing south. Lawson was taken to Wright Memorial Hospital in Trenton for treatment of his injuries, by the Mercer County Ambulance District. The Mercer County Sheriff's Office and the Missouri Department of Conservation assisted the Highway Patrol at the scene of the wreck, four miles north of Princeton. The tractor was demolished. The Peterbilt was extensively damaged.
