December 28, 2012-Can't Believe This Year Is About Over

I'm sorry I haven't gotten back here in so long. Just never seem to get the time. I'm always too busy with my photos or looking through old Ilion pics on Facebook and gathering new ones.
Christmas is over. I did not go to my niece's. Only four of my siblings went. The girls. None of the boys went. Gavin did show up with his wife and baby. Got a good pic of Xander that Pam took. I'll add the pics I have so far.
Nina stopped over on Sunday with the kids so I could give them their gifts. Then on Monday poor Jessi fell off a stool and got a concussion and a cut near her eye. Jason, Nina's boyfriend,  had to take her to the emergency room for an MRI. She was on a stool in the kitchen at her house and fell off. She's been told over and over not to play on it I guess. Nina was in Albany but didn't get back home till 6:30. Jessi is okay but has a black eye. I just hope her head never bothers her in the future.
We got hit with a foot of snow from the 26th to the 27th. It sure looks pretty. Guess I won't be going out for a long time. Besides, my car battery is just about had it. Jim is going to come down one of these days and get me a new one. He did not make it to Christmas because he's had the Flu. He called me that day and said he was feeling a little better but not enough to go anywhere. And Patty's mom is about ready to go. They even gave her last rites the other day. I haven't heard anything though. She's been in a lot of pain since having her leg amputated. It will be a blessing for her. She's in the nursing home in Ilion.

My tumor is bothering me a lot more now. This might be my last year also. Day by day. But I'm okay and not in real bad pain or anything.

Steve has been down south with Alysha. I've got one pic of him and the baby so far.

Ginny called me yesterday. She and Othiniel were up on the little hill by their home again. I guess he was carrying a rifle in case anything tried to attack them. By the way she talks I think the other boys are with their father somewhere else. Very strange and she still won't tell me anything. She doesn't want anyone to know. She hasn't talked to Heather in a while. The other kids won't talk to her any more. Can't blame them.

I'm trying to think back. Can't remember what else has been going on. The woman upstairs is due back home this weekend. Oh joy! More noise. It's been nice and peaceful for the past week. She's in Florida.
They found the black guy upstairs, dead. He'd been dead for about a week the coroner seems to think. His family had called the office because they hadn't heard from him and he was supposed to be down there for Christmas. he takes the bus. Somewhere near NYC. He smoked and he drank I guess. I didn't know anything about him. I wouldn't want to be moving in that apartment.. There's one new woman in here but I haven't seen her yet. And they are working on another apartment downstairs. Soon I won't know anyone here. There's only a few of us old regulars left.
I finally got my recert papers today. My rent has gone up $12. But that's how much I got extra in my SS check for this year so I won't miss anything.
I can't think of anything else right now. So here's a few pictures for you. Take care everyone. Happy New Year!! Can't believe I'm here to see another year come in!!
 The kids at Jessica and Mike's on Christmas day. Debby will be bringing over her pics soon.
Nina and the kids on Sunday before Christmas.
Tilly, the one twin and her Aunt in the deep snow last night, the 27th.
