Pat has been spending a lot of time on the phone. Her 95 year old mother came down with a urinary tract infection last Monday, and is in the hospital. She is doing well and will go home today. The phone system doesn�t work too well, and it�s expensive to use phone cards, which we�ve been doing. Our house has a phone, but it was disconnected, and would take a long time to get it re-instated, so we�re making do. My cell phone was suppose to work here, I paid for Sprint Global. But�.it doesn�t work. I�ll settle up with them when I get home!
