Quite A Week!
July 20, 2008 by admin
The last seven days have been eventful to say the least. A variety of things going on — pretty much never a dull moment.
Work was work – did my share of day travel, took on a couple of new projrcts that look really interesting, checked in on a couple that are under construction (I love it when we get to that point…..actually doing something material), and worked with a couple that are in process. All in all – pretty well rounded week and no complaints.
Personal life was busy! Mom ended up in the hospital on Wednesday – just couldn’t get around and severe pain in her back. She is still there as i write – though she has moved over to the Transitional Care Unit – kind of a physical therapy arrangement to get her back on her feet and evaluate her capacity and capabilities to see if she can go back to tending for herself or if it is time for an Assisted Living arrangement. I am guessing she will be in there for another couple of days anyway. Sooo….did alot of running around taking care of her stuff, getting her what she needed, etc. etc. ….. and just visiting with her a bit.
Nate, Courtney, and Keegan came up this past week also so Nate could help his Grandma get some stuff out of the basement. They did a great job! I think the local landfill is a little bit fuller than it was last week – they took some major loads to the dump! Starting to look like the "B" will actually have some room down there if he decides toi move up this way for work & school. Anyway — thanks to Nate for alot of help. The last night he was here we loaded up the pool table and ping pong table cover in his truck and tied it down good and he took them home with him. I committed to give Nate those items some time ago — and frankly I cant think of a better place for them. He is one fine young man! Oh … and while I am mentioning fine young men …. that Keegan is really coming into his own. What a great one! And finally as we discuss the visiting Lechers, you can see that Courtney got this blogging figured out – what a sweetie – I am guessing we will hear more from her.
Steph & Mike & Stephen took Ashley and Courtney to Cheyenne last night so they could use their Christmas presents "finally" – they had tickets to the Taylor Swift concert at Frontier Days. Those two young ladies looked totally awesome all dressed up before they left. Have i told you lately about my three awesome granddaughters? Wowzers! I havent heard from anyone this morning but am assuming they had a good time, that the Lovato’s are back in Casper, and that Courtney is in Colorado. She was excited to get home so she could go to a Rockies game at Coors Field with a group of friends today. Busy people!
I think that one of the events of the past week that was interesting is that I believe Ashley has become somewhat hooked on Texas Hold ‘Em! Yep – Ashley & Stephen & Coutrtney and Vic & I had some great sessions this past week. Fun!
Oh …. also got the motorhome all serviced and set up. Probably going to use it for a bedroom etc. for some of the end of month guests that are anticipated here. Sounds like we "could" have alot of different family visits from both sides of our family. I don’t think summer is going to slow down for awhile!
Well …. time to clean up and head up to see how Ma is doing this morning. And yes Son — I will put on a heavy dose of BO repellant!
