July 30, 2011 home again

We are home tonight,  back from our Door County trip.  Life was good,   now back to this other life!   We had a great time.  I came back to work Tuesday and Wednesday each week to save some vacation.  But Chris stayed, and Mary Jane was there both weeks.   John joined us for the second week, as did our niece Denise.   It was good to see old friends, even though I did not spend enough time with them.  We spent some time at golf and going out for some nice meals.  Very enjoyable times, thank you all.  From Taco night, to Spaghetti night, to going out for a fish fry they were all enjoyable.

I think I ate too much and drank too much, or the scale says that!  But I love the food!  And Drink!  My golf game improved a little over 2 weeks, the challenge is to keep getting out and try to get some consistency to my swings,  I do love to golf.  And Mary Jane and Chris golfed several times and I thought hit the ball very well.   And one night we went to Birch Creek for a Big Band Concert.  Jeff and Donna Pindel joined us which was enjoyable.  13-18 year olds come to the camp for 2 weeks for heavy instruction and quickly playing with other musicians.  The kids are amazing,  and the second part of the concert were the instructors, all of which are very accomplished.

So the trailer is unpacked, Chris is on who knows what load number of wash, and a few things around the yard done.  The bad news is my Mom is in the hospital,  but sounds like nothing very serious at the moment.  She went in because she said her stomach was bothering her and she had not been eating much.   So far not much of an answer to that other than a slight bladder infection that could be giving her a problem.   Skip says she is complaining less about it and ate well tonight.   She has had issues the last month with some swelling in her knee.  They ran lot’s of tests on that but think it is arthritis.   With the cat scan they did looking for any issues they do say there is a cyst behind the knee also.  but not much they can do about that either.  They did drain the knee again and gave her another cortizone shot,  and it sound like the knee and leg are looking better.   And she is complaining about the food and wants to go home,  all good signs.

So hope all are doing well, enjoy your week!

    Thanks, Mom is going to go to rehab to build a little strength and her confidence. At least that is the plan for now. Judy I didn’t take many pictures either. The ones from Christmas night did not turn out well!

    Randy I’m glad that you had a good time when you were up there. I like the pictures but I was hoping to get a glimpse of your new grandson. I hear he’s really cute. Marie

    What’s Marie talking about? A new grandson?

    Returned from Sommer’s this afternoon. Had a good month but not any Musky hits for Dick. Water was way too warm.

    Hope your Mom is doing alright.
