Kyle and Hannah Prospero came to visit for the weekend the 1st week of November for his 22nd birthday.

family pictures

We just got back from Salt Lake...here are a few "family" pictures....Trace and Andrea, Kyle, Pabst and a few of the whole family. Thanks to Andrea for being our photographer. We also spent a little time at the cemetary and saw the graves of Pres. Hinckley, David O. McKay and a who's who of church history...I really want to go back and spend more time. I cried the entire time!!! The last picture is to show you the size of the hail that was hitting our house during the last storm. I have NEVER seen or heard anything like it!!!.

SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL

We had an earthquake today about 10:30 am. I heard a big boom and then the whole place shook for about a second...no biggie...but it got me thinking that we need to get our 72 hour kits ready. Do you have yours? You just never know.

Still bored and not working. This "economic decline" really sucks.

I'm Done

Buh..bye

OUR NEW GRANDSON

We have a new family member...Trace and Kyle just adopted a aussiedoodle....too cute for words.

I think that this is a close as we are gonna be to grandchildren for a long, long time.

We are heading to Salt Lake tomorrow morning. We fly out early Thursday morning. It's 84 degrees in Puerto Vallarta today!!! Can't wait. Everyone stay safe while we are outta the country. ADIOS! TE QUIERO.

Thanks Tracy

So, I went in for "routine" shoulder surgery on the 15th. Saw the doctor for my follow up today...here's what I know: When he opened up the "bursa" my entire shoulder "blew up" and started swelling uncontrollably. To keep the blood flow to my arm the dr. had to remove about 1.5 inches of my clavicle...which stopped the swelling but hurts like h-e- double hockey sticks! I am in physical therapy 5 days a week and hopefully, next week I can go back to work! Today the therapist sent me home with a TEMS machine...it's awesome..it sends a shock to the muscles at regular intervals and keeps the pain down...love it! I have used one before, when my back was bad, now, I am hooked up 24/7 and can control the power that it jolts with me. It feels like a constant massage. Hopefully I will sleep now and be able to heal a little quicker.

Through all of this my hubby has been a true hero. Fixing dinner, cleaning up and, every day, making sure that my every need has been met. How did I get so lucky?

Hope all is well with you all. It has rained for a week straight here and I have really enjoyed it, but, enough is enough.
