Been busy

since returning from Diana. Traveling man goes every morning to spend time with his mom at the rehab center. He usually gets home anytime between noon and 2p. His mother's dementia seems to be getting worse. Physical therapy has helped strengthen her legs but she still can't walk more than a couple of steps unassisted. She has to have help getting as far as the bathroom and, you know in a hospital room it isn't far to the bathroom.
Consequently we have decided to forgo Michigan this summer and stay in Knoxville - where it has been hot, hot, hot. Sure hope we have come cooler days coming. We are at the Escapees campground here and it is nice. I do like having a pool available. Also there is social hour every afternoon at 4p and ice cream on Sundays. It is good to spend more time with our church family and friends here also.
Our 50th high school reunion went well. Everyone had a good time. Why is it that the old high school seems so much smaller that it was 50 years ago? It was wonderful to see so many old classmates, even if we didn't recognize them! Hurrah for name tags! Friday night was casual, meet-and-greet and open mike. Fun listening to some of the memories and Fred's lame jokes. Saturday night was more formal (but still had lame jokes) and there were even more people there. Our class president gave a nice speech and issued a challenge to us. Our main speaker had to cancel at the last minute because of illness. Though we missed him, the time was put to good use socializing and some were dancing. Kudos to those who worked hard putting all this together. It was great fun and I am sorry for those who missed it.
Guess that is about all for now.
God Bless
