All of mom\u2019s affairs are settled. Verne is in the nursing home memory center and is adjusting as well as can be expected. All upgrades, maintenance and repairs on our RV and Andy and Candy\u2019s are complete. The rest of the summer is ours. So what did we do with ourselves?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About mid-May we participated in motorcycle ride and dinner for the Boy Scout Flag Retirement Ceremony. We have never been to one and it was very interesting to participate in the event. Afterward we headed to Pier 87 for some food, brew, and entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John had his hernia surgery in the early part of June. He is getting pretty good at this surgery stuff. See how relaxed and calm he is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since leaving mom\u2019s we have been bouncing around sharing different people\u2019s backyards. We have made our way to Britta and Zane\u2019s house. The kids are excited and Britta is having fun with John\u2019s lapidary equipment. We\u2019ve had birthdays, creek swims, lots of walks, and fun on the trampoline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next place we squat is at John\u2019s cousin Doreen\u2019s river lot which is close to Bill and Jul! My brother Kevin and his wife Darlene are out of town so we get to watch Marley. Boy, I\u2019m really missing having a dog. We take Marley on lots of adventures while she is with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
