My sister, The 4-wheeler, is quite a talker. You just can't get her to shut up sometimes!

A few months ago, she moved from Omaha to Utica, Nebraska, to live in a skilled-care facility there. I was concerned about her moving to such a small town. Concerned that there would be fewer opportunities for her there. Concerned that there would be fewer programs and services for a person in a wheelchair. Concerned that she would be bored, miserable, and lonely.

But as it turns out, she snagged herself a boyfriend!

Well, I was talking with her today on IM, and she brought him up. So I asked about him. Big mistake. I just could not get her to stop talking about him!
