OCTOBERFEST / TORBECKFEST

CANNOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS OCTOBER AND THE LEAVES ARE CHANGING AND SO ARE WE.

ROGER AND I HAVE HAD HOSPICE IN NOW FOR A WHILE AND THEY SEEM TO HELP ROGER GET A HOLD OF HIS PAIN AND THEN THE DISEASE PROGRESSES AND HE IS BACK TO SUFFERING UNTIL HE AGREES TO TAKE ON MORE OF THE PAIN MEDICATION. IT DOES MAKE HIM MORE SLEEPY...IN FACT YESTERDAY MORNING I KEPT THINKING THAT HE WAS GOING TO GET UP AND IT WAS 10:30 am AND I WENT IN THE BEDROOM TO SEE HIM AND THERE HE AND THE CAT (DEAN) WERE SLEEPING STILL LIKE LITTLE BABIES.

HE STILL READS A LOT BUT NOW THAT EVEN MAKES HIM SLEEPY. I GUESS IT IS A TRADE OFF........BE SLEEPY OR BE IN EXTREME PAIN?

ROGER'S BROTHER IS HERE FOR A WEEK TAKING CARE OF SOME THINGS FOR THEIR MOM. SHE IS STILL GOING PRETTY STRONG, BUT NEEDS HELP WITH SOME THINGS OF WHICH ROGER JUST CANNOT DO ANYMORE.

BY THE SOUNDS OF IT, WE SHOULD HAVE A BIG THANKSGIVING AT THE TORBECK RANCH......JEFF AND FAMILY.....CHAD AND FAMILY....KEN AND SONNY (his girlfriend) JOHN AND DORIS, GERT AND AUNT WILMA.........I JUST HOPE THAT ROGER IS UP FOR THAT.....WE WILL JUST MAKE IT WORK SOMEHOW ! ? ! ?

THIS TIME OF YEAR WE TEND TO REFLECT AND BE THANKFUL FOR ALL OF THE BLESSINGS THAT WE HAVE HAD AND HAVE SHARED WITH ALL OF YOU......OUR NEWEST BLESSING IS OUR BABY JOLIE FAITH HANSON BORN TO JEFF AND JOLENE ON OCT 1, 2010. WE HAVE NOT SEEN HER YET, BUT WE HOPE TO ON THANKSGIVING.

PRAY FOR PEACE, LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING the world would be a better place if all of these were to come true
until next time Dianne and Roger
