The home
where Trudy's mother lives, was restricted to all visitors. Worse
still, there was no indication of for how long this would
last! We kept in touch by phone frequently, even
though we had to persevere, as unfortunately Josephine so
often did not hear the phone ringing. Sometimes
she was a bit confused, but generally she is amazing.
Josephine had her 100th Birthday on the 3rd of April, and she was in good
form, even though we could not be with her. For example, we had a long chat with her on
the phone, and she was still able to talk to me in
English!
She really did not want too much fuss,
as she said she has had
so many Birthdays! Trudy's brother and his wife were
only allowed to be with her for 45 minutes. The home
made a special meal for her, and she had lots of presents
and good wishes. She told us she was overwhelmed.
Ten days later Martina together with Edith (from Bad Ragaz, relatives not seen too often), went to
make a visit which was so lovely for her.
Our 52nd Wedding Anniversary
We at last managed to drive back to Winterthur and
arrived a week before our wedding anniversary which we
celebrated with Josephine.
So glad to be together again at last.
We had cakes, some fizz, Cherries, Raspberries, and
blueberries.
