We have had a busy week as my aunt, Myrtle Ritchie, fell and broke her leg on Thursday evening. Bob and I spent the night with her at the hospital and Friday afternoon she had surgery. She is 105 years old and just came through the surgery without any problems. Dr. Rosenberg did the surgery and I believe she is the oldest person he has ever operated on. Our thanks go out to him for all his care and kindness during this time. Dr. Totten was also her attending physician at the hospital and her eyes lit up when he came into the room as he comes to Swiss Villa so she knows him. Seeing him made her feel better.
Berta Turner of Swiss Villa was there for many hours and I thank her very much.
Happy birthday wishes go out this week to Glo Asbury, Bob Griswold, Jean Lyons and Robin Stinson.
Glo Asbury spent Sunday with her son James Asbury and family. Rufus and Sue Purcell also joined them for dinner.
