03/27/06 Eyes and awnings

3/27/2006 LETTER TO BECKY

Hey how's it going? I haven't talked to you for awhile...since I was up

there I guess. That seems like a lifetime ago!

My eyes are not just right yet, sad but true. My right eye is about

perfect but my left eye had that problem with bleeding under the flap (hit a

blood vessel) and so I still have not great vision there. It is giving me

headaches but I am hopeful it will get better soon. Everybody keeps

telling me to just be patient but you know how good I am at that!

We are supposed to get our awning today or tomorrow - across the back of the

house. I think it will make the house cooler this summer. Andy thinks it

will feel a little claustrophobic and closed in...i hope not. We have had

problems with grass not growing and everything we put out back being ruined

by the extreme sun and heat. I am hoping this will help with all that...

We'll see!

Today is Dallas' b-day. He is very excited. The big 11. He got to go to

his first boy scout activity Saturday. My little guy is growing up!

I guess there is really not that much going on but it sure seems like life

is a big blur. What's up there? Write soon.

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...

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...
