Dad Update

Dad is doing much better...has only had three pain pills in the past three days. He has been to the archery range twice and is trying to work something out so he can get to the Utah Summer Games (he's registered to compete next Thurs. thru Sunday). Jessica and Kami will be coming sometime next weekend so I won't be able to drive him to Cedar City and he can't be left alone. I hate being the "bad guy", but I question the wisdom of the long trip and three days of competition. I guess I should have known that when we bought him a bow and he began shooting regularly, it would be more than just a good activity and recreation for him (he's so competitive). Callie (Jessica's cat) is adjusting to her new surroundings and was especially happy to see her toys, treats and familiar food and water dishes that arrived in the mail today. She had been finding socks to play with whenever we left the house. I wish I had been able to snap a picture of her laying on her back and tossing one of her toys up and catching it again and again. I've added Scott's Sonnet Writers web sight to my links and had to laugh outloud at his latest sonnets "Birthday Soup" and "Catching Frogs"; "Skipping Stones" brought back many fond memories. Thanks, Scott. I bought an MP3 player before I went to OK City and Drew showed me how to load the music on it (Aaron had shown me how to load music from my CDs to a little MP3 player that came with my new CD player). Anyway, I stayed up until neatly 2 a.m. one night and filled it with great music. I feel like technology has really left me behind, but on the plane coming home I sure enjoyed the music on my credit card sized "music machine". Well I guess I better sign off for tonight (Dad has fallen asleep in his chair and has accidentally changed the TV channel on the remote...to a Spanish station). Love to All, Mom
