Good morning! Room’s all packed and stuff loaded into the van. Waiting for Ken to shower, then check us out and we head to Wheatland for the next two days. Then we’re home from Sunday night until early Wednesday morning, when we head for Denver and the Rocky Mountain Conference from the 18-21. That’s our last major traveling until Grand Lodge in August.

Yesterday was July 11th. Our Grand Lodge starts on August 11th. One month from today, at 4:00pm, we are officially done. I remember that for about 2 years before his Grand Master year, I was trying to tell you all about the traveling and responsibilities we’d have. Typing it out and actually living it, I have learned, are two entirely different things! This has been a year I’d never ever do over again, but at the same time it’s one I wouldn’t have wanted to miss! We’re both exhausted, but it’s the kind of exhaustion that comes from accomplishing - and even exceeding - every goal that had been set. Ken is an amazing man, and I realize completely how blessed I am to be his Lady. I’m so proud of him.

I’ve read everything, but now can’t remember all of it to comment. Just bits and pieces, and on my phone it’s hard to maneuver back and forth. But I’ll try.

Deb, 70 pounds!!! Man, I thought I had reason to be proud of myself!! Sorry you had such a scary episode. Keep hydrated!

DMC, if I remember right the doctors were hoping to save at least some of the muscles, so to save all but one seems like a true miracle! Recovery won’t be easy, but he’s got to be feeling a little encouraged now. How’s the vision in his other eye coming along?

Sharron, they still don’t know what’s going on? I don’t know about you, but I always find it easier to fight when I have the name of my opponent and the rules for the fight. Kinda sounds like they just grabbed a name out of the “miscellaneous” chapter of the medical textbooks. Doggone it! So sorry about Wilbur, too!

Sean, Sean, Sean.....what are we going to do with you to get you to make some serious concessions for your injuries to fully heal. Rent a scooter, for crying out loud! And I have a perfectly good wheelchair in my garage that isn’t busy at the moment -

Hey, Debby ~ for the first time my year’s short timer calendar is shorter than yours! This is Wyoming, though - does anyone really expect 7 more weeks of golf weather?

It’s clouding up here big time. Almost time for the weekly major hailstorm and I don’t want to be in it. I’ve always wondered....so many products that we use every day came from inventions made for space travel. Velcro, pens that can write upside down, pouches of applesauce for kids....wouldn’t you think someone could find a way to put the same kind of glass in car windows that they use on the space shuttles? That stuff can withstand meteor and space junk hits at thousands of miles per hour. Car windshields can’t handle being hit by a soybean at 65.
 
Uhhhh.... I hate to break it to ya, buddy, but Labs ARE retrievers!? :lau :eek: :oops:

Assuming maybe they meant Golden when they said Retriever but still... they’re all retrievers. And there’s also like at least 6 different kinds of retrievers which I have a feeling would blow their mind :lau :oops:
