6/22/86 Leaving

6/22/86 Sunday

I guess I was wrong.  I couldn't hold back the tears and not cry in front of everybody!  When I went to Linda's house yesterday to drop off my address Joe was there.  I couldn't help it - the tears fell.  He was a great help but I only saw him for a couple of minutes. Then we said goodbye.  He promised he would write.  I sure hope he does!

The cry was good because I was fine saying goodbye to all the neighbors and Rob and Tammy.  We drove up to CW Post -- the longest hottest awfullest ride I've taken in awhile!  It was a bit less then fun.  When we finally got here I had a miserable tension headache and pressured ears and I had to cry again.

I said goodbye and have kind of withdrawn from all activity since then.  Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel better.  I did meet a few people though.

Oh yeah, another thing that happened yesterday, I took the car out and it died while I was at the meat store.  Overheated.  The day before we had gone to Great Adventure and the tire went flat. I was pretty upset about all of that!

I guess the next few weeks will be really tuff but I'm gonna try my darnedest to make this all work!

06/14/25 Pre-Yellowstone

Last year for Christmas I purchased a vacation to Yellowstone for the kids and us. The dates for the Yellowstone cabin were June 16-June 20. We decided to break the trip up a little and drive up the weekend before and drive home the weekend after. Also, because Katie got married, and Dallas has limited time off, he was unable to take his family on the trip. We stayed at his house and got some twin time in before we continued north.  Aspen and John moved to Pennsylvania and are in Utah for the summer. On our way up north we stopped at Becky's house to see them and their sweet new baby.  Erik recently got a new job so he was also not able to join us on our trip. Holly became our little girl again and traveled with us.  Holly and Millie My dad's been in the care center so we stopped by to visit him. He's being well cared for. He is struggling to put sentences together. We came and went to church with him at the care center. He's been asking for a really good pizza. So we w...

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides.  We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more.  Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )

08/20/25 Max out of pocket reached early again...hospital here we come

As is customary, within 7-10 days from returning from a trip we go to the hospital.  We stayed out of the ocean -- while we were in the Bahamas -- in order to keep Andy healthy. (We have determined that he has been getting infections through his swollen legs or cuts on his feet.)  Andy did not get infection from being naughty! haha BUT he somehow picked up COVID!  What the heck?! On Sunday last week (Aug 10) he started having a scratchy throat, voice. It got worse and most of last week he had laryngitis.  That resolved itself and he was feeling pretty fine. We had a full Wednesday. Around 9 p.m. he said he was feeling a little funky/woozy, whatever. Off?!   We went to bed and his temperature reading was still below normal but he was having body aches and shivering. We tried to sleep but he was clearly in pain and tossing and turning.  About 1:00 a.m. I got up and checked his temperature...100. Hmm. I looked at his legs and it looked like he might possi...
