Hello, happy June!

It's been a while since I was able to post... various things going on. Barbara will be having a second melanoma operation on her arm on June 10, in Hanover,NH. It was nice to see Irene Collins the other day when we took Barb to the hospital-- very comforting to see an old friend. It was Memorial Day and sorry we had to be there on such a lovely day. But of course I was relieved to find that Barbara was probably ok, perhaps simply having a little heat stroke. Fortuituously Jennie Yon is going to come up and try to help Rob tidy Barb and her room up, fix food and so on, about 2-3x per week. I am happy because I feel Jennie is a very helpful person,and Barb loves the little girls... Barb sesms to be feeling better now. It was nice of Susie Mc Cune Disbrow to come up and visit with her while she has been ill. We greatly welcome visitors, as Barb is a very social person! Allen was here too, for a few hours the other day. It was nice to see him. Hope he and Marion will speind more time at QH this summer.

Robin Fiske's 60th Birthday

Today was my cousin Robin's 60th birthday.  He's 9 months or so younger than me, having been born on 3. 26. 1951 in Tucson, Arizona, where my mother was born, and where at that time my grandmother, Isabelle Daniel Jones Hall, was very ill with cancer. I guess that his father, Milton, and his mother, Theckla, must have been there to help Barb and Irving take care of her, and there Robin was born.
He still seems very young! Robin skiis a lot, lets his friends borrow his car way more than I would even, and is cheerful a lot of the time. He also knows how to help take care of Barb in ways that I would find hard...
She enjoyed his birthday party despite pain in her arm from the removal of her melanoma tumor (we hope that's all there is) and loved seeing people. Thanks to everyone who came, or who in any way acknowledged Robin's birthday.
