What's happening now!

What's up with us: September seemed to fly by. ML went from supposedly needing a pacemaker to having a CPAP machine and is feeling better. We spent 4 days up in the hills at the SKP (http://escapees.com/) park we discovered. It's a interesting concept as it's a nonprofit orgainzation with multiple levels of membership. We joined at the lowest level but are interested in possilbly buying in for a permanent space in the Coarsegold park. tp://www.parksierra.net/ I went to a prayer meeting for the first time in years and reconnected with a woman I'd known since 1975. She's 90 years old and still loves the Lord; what a blessing she's been to so many for so long. I'm still losing weight; thank God and am feeling good.

October has been eventful: ML had 2 cataracts removed and doesn't wear glasses any more after 72 yrs of wearing them. I had one removed and no more glasses for now. Ari ate half a bottle of Rimadol and had to go to the vet's ER and is just now recovering after 2 wks of meds, etc. I volunteered to provide support for the Bass Lake Powerhouse 200 mile bike event (http://www.fresnocycling.com/powerhouse/2006/) and along the way discovered an alpaca ranch with a 2 wk old baby. We followed several riders insuring they stayed on course and were ok.

We continue the downsizing idea with a plan to move in the next 5 yrs. This weekend I'm having a big yard sale in hopes of moving out some of the stuff we've accumulated over the last 20 yrs here. We've been looking a mobile or manufactured homes; so far, I like some in the mountains above Oakhurst in an area called The Grove. http://www.yosemitegrove.com/

I took Mom out for a ride last month and should try again this month as it seems to perk her up a little. She's slowly declining but is more contented and less angry. I went out and cleaned her power chair and found it needed a part I haven't been able to locate yet. It's useable so....

I can't believe I'll be 65 yo in 3 months; however the change in the weather produces aches and pains I haven't had before. My new knee lets me know to get going and get the kinks out which I do by walking the dogs every day.
