Balloon Fest

Hi,
This morning we got up early to go watch the balloon fest that went on here in Casper this weekend. They sure are gorgeous! We watched a few of them launch, then went driving around to watch them land. Today was a great day for it. Nice and cool, but they usually go to the east and this morning they went west. There was hardly any wind. It was cool.
The boys are enjoying their Summer Adventure Camp at school. They went to Tensleep on Wed. This week, they are staying in town to tour the local "attractions", such as the police station, Wyoming Machinery, grocery store?, etc. They should have fun again!
As far as my health, I am feeling well. I still have no hearing, but am still hopeful and will be calling to get a hearing test soon, just to check. I called Dr. Muckle's office and talked with his assistant about follow-up, etc. She was supposed to call back, but I haven't heard from her yet. I guess that I have gotten lost in the shuffle of his busy practice. Thank God that I am not having any issues that need attention!! I do get tired easier and need a little more sleep than before, but that should get better with time also. I am sure things are still healing in there!
Well, that's all for now! C.

Still here!

Hi, Well, I went back to work full time this week. It went pretty well. I have plenty of catching up to do, so there isn't a lack of work which is a good thing. For the most part, I feel well. The cold is finally coming to an end I hope!
My 20 year class reunion was last weekend. It was a blast. I missed my 10 year as that was when Cooper was born. So, I saw a lot of people that I hadn't seen in years. It was a good time.
This weekend, I am trying to catch up on some housework and laundry. I have been gone the last 2 weekends, so things have kind of piled up.
The boys are going to a Summer Adventure Camp that their school is sponsoring. They went to Alcova and Thermopolis last week and this week they get to go to Tensleep. It is a wonderful program. The kids are having a blast, learning a lot and not getting bored. Thanks Mills School, you are doing a great job!!
I guess that is about all of my news. Nothing too interesting.
Love, C.

July Already!

Hi, It has been awhile since I posted...

I can hardly believe that it is July!! I am trying to figure out where the time is going. I have come to the conclusion that my head was partially in la la land most of the month... Oh well, I guess that the first week or two I was in bed most of the time. And the rest, I hardly left the house due to recovery. Well, I feel pretty much back to normal. Someone was asking me today if I was 100% yet. I don't feel 100, but maybe at least 90%. I still get tired pretty easily. Oh, and I caught the cold during the camping trip. Sue and Steve both had it while we were camping.

Oh! The camping trip. We spent the 2nd through the 7th in the Big Horn Mountains camping. It was a great time. The boys had a blast. They caught quite a few fish and just had fun getting dirty and playing in the fire. We came to the conclusion that the fire bug is hereditary. My mom was up one night and she said that she loves playing in the fire as do I!! I guess my boys get it from me... I tested my stamina a little bit. On Saturday, we hiked up to the Medicine Wheel. It was 3 miles roundtrip and I handled it pretty well, as did the boys and Sue!

I worked a full day today. I am feeling well. I am tired, but that is from the camping trip, the cold and just trying to catch up on my sleep. One problem with this cold is that when I cough or sneeze, it makes my head hurt. In the shower this AM, I coughed hard and it really made the head hurt from the surgery. I had to lay down once I got out, but took some Aleve and got on with my day and it wasn't bad. But, I know it could be a lot worse, so I thank God every day that things turned out so well!!

Tomorrow is Parade Day here, so I am going to take the boys to the parade. That should be a hoot. They love that kind of thing.

Well, sorry it was so long since the last post. I will try to do better. I guess that I don't even know if anyone is reading this anymore. If you want me to keep going, let me know...
