Where has the summer gone?

How can this be September already? What happened to June, July and August? This has been a very different summer for me, first my surgery and than Kathleen breaking her arm. I almost got to recover when I had to start taking care of Kathleen. I guess it was a good thing, as it did not allow me to get bored.

She is still having pain in her elbow and wrist, which has not been explained by anything shown in the x-rays. I think that the doctor said that if she was still having this pain this coming Tuesday that she would need to have an MRI. Therefore, she still might be in for a long recovery.

It was really windy here today; it was not the normal cooling wind, but rather a really hot wind coming out of the gorge from eastern Oregon and Washington. This is the weekend and once again the temperature is supposed to be in the 90’s. We have gone from the low 70’s on Wednesday to 90’s this weekend. It is a little hard on the body to adjust to such a swing in temperature, or at least for my body to make the adjustment.

After Kathleen’s physical therapy appointment today, we stopped by the local truck farm just down the street and picked up some corn that I shucked and boiled for dinner tonight. This is just the right time for corn; it is so sweet it is unbelievable!

Well this is another ordinary day in our lives, other than the physical therapy appointment we really did not do much of anything constructive. Tomorrow should be interesting; it is usually the day after physical therapy that Kathleen has the most pain.

Aaron, Tami and the girls are camping at the coast with Tami’s family so I get to take care of Archie again this weekend. It is mostly feeding changing his water and playing fetch with him for a while. He is still pretty much still a puppy…a bigggg puppy, but still just a pup. Reggie is an old dog compared to Archie, Reggie spends a lot of his day sleeping or resting…kind of like his owners!

Have a good night and a great long weekend!
