Anyone have any recent news of BlueBird and how she's doing? Haven't
heard from or about her since around Christmas. Hoping all is OK.

I talked to her about a week ago. She's still hanging in there, but
things are getting hard for her - or rather, harder. LittleBit seems to
be having some problems, which doesn't help, of course. BB is also
feeling the effects for the Alzheimer's. Finances are very tight, so
figuring out what to do is a worry. She is trying to work something out
where she can share an apartment with a friend, who is willing to look
after her. However, she is currently in some sort of subsidized
housing, and she loses the financial help if she has another person
living with her. They need to find a place they can afford between
them, and, of course, moving will be very hard on her, but it looks as
though it will be necessary.

She gets to the computer occasionally, just long enough to do a group
mailing of a joke or inspirational story, but doesn't have the strength
to come to newsgroups any more. That is too bad, because she really
misses them - especially this one.

She still loves getting cards and notes.
