sunshine

This is the third day in a row of sunshine. We are finally getting our flowers planted.Beth is hobbling a little faster each day and went swimming this morning

Beth

varied news

Beth is now off of all crutches, walkers, walking boots etc.Now it is rehab time.I will be the coach.
Saylorville dam road and all boat ramps have been closed due to the rising water. We drove up this morning from indiala and the Des Moines River is way out of its banks south of Des moines. Hopefull the Grandview area Levee will not break again this year.It's sad that flood prone areas are so often occupied by those already in need.Kids and grandkids coming soon. My 9 year old grandson asked his dad If Adam and eve were apes.:)

More water

It rained 2 1/2 more inches last night. Its supposed to return tonight. Enow is Enow.I'm builing an Ark.I learned how in the Corps.

Water, water everywhere

Drove up to Saylorville today and there is a tremendous amount of water coming out of the spillway. It was raining but that didn't seem to bother the deer.

broken ankle

It's been six weeks since Beth broke her ankle and sprained her other one. She is now walking in a boot and no crutches so we are making progress. Feels good.

Champ

Shop at Champs for sporting goods. I went out today and got a 20% discount for being a veteran. Probably helped that the salesman was in the Corps.

healing

Off the walker, off the crutches, on the walking boot. We are making progress.Semper Fi

Long time

My lady is healing and is now off and on crutches and much more mobile than a month ago.It's not permanent and we feel blessed than it is not.Semper Fi and God Bless the Marine Corps
