Happy Independence Day!

Just a quick note on the way through town, back from camping for the last 5 days. Stopped off to touch base at the shop before heading on home. Too much to do once we get there so here goes,...

We're all doing well, and had a wonderful time. It was great for Scott to get up there and spread his wings in a manner of speaking. He was able to do soooooo many things and really enjoy himself without much pain, and without getting completely exhausted from it...... not bad for only 5 weeks since his surgery (Today as a matter of fact!).

Scott's dad actually did worse than originally thought. After the doctors were able to get a better look at his feet, it was determined that the other one is in really bad shape afterall,... one is mildly fractured while the other,.. well, the other is completely shatterd into a million pieces & fragments of pieces, and cannot be repaired. He's in a fiberglass cast that can bare no weight whatsoever so he's on a lot of bed rest and having to use a wheelchair as the crutches are too much for him. It's been said that perhaps after a few months maybe a surgeon can go in there and do some repair, but it doesn't sound like things look good for it. It sounds as though no matter what the improvement he's looking at having a bad time with that foot from here on out.

Well, I'm going to head out the door now. A lot to unload, a mass of laundry to do, showers to take, fireworks to watch, sparklers to 'spark', and little ones to get to bed. There are always prices to pay for relaxation aren't there? LOL..... Still, it's worth it!

We hope you all have a fun (but safe) 4th of July!!
