Hello Friends:
Have been busy lately and not had a lot of time to post much on Ramva. Have been taking classes 3 days a week, and working full time with the cleaning business at night. My dad has been in the hospital for the last couple of weeks after having a stroke. We were hoping and praying for a quick recovery, but they just moved him to a nursing home today for some rehabilitation type activities. Honestly the family all know in our own minds that there is good chance he will probably never go through the door of his house of 38 years again. My parents moved into that house when I was 4 years old. I saw him a couple of days before he went into the hospital. He was not in the best of health before the stroke, but he was very mentally alert. The stroke has affected his brain, and he did not know who I was when I went to visit him in the hospital. I wish that I had stayed longer the last time I was over at the parents house. An additional thing is that my dad does not have long term care insurance, because he was unable to get it due to health problems. I hope the nursing home does not suck my mom dry financially. That would be not be good.
Not trying to bum everyone out, but just want to send a message that nothing is forever, so be sure to spend quality time with your family and loved ones while you can.
For some VW related conetent. I was going to the pre show party at Metalkraft Coachwerkes last Saturday after visiting my dad at the hospital. I was going to the party from the hospital, so I was drove the 67 to the hospital. They have one of those highrise type parking garages. I pulled in to look for a space, and to my surprise I found a Red Cal-Look 67 Beetle in the parking garage. There was an empty space next to it, so I pulled in so my Beetle would have company while I was there. I did not recognize the Beetle, so did not know who the owner is, and it was still in that parking space when I left. Bill Berckman
