BACK TO ARIZONA

We finished with our annual medical appointments yesterday afternoon, and after reviewing the lab reports, everything looks good for another year. We don't have mammogram results yet, but Patty is convinced, that report will also be normal. We picked up Sami from the vet, after she had her teeth cleaned, and unfortunately, one of her upper, front canines had to be extracted. We have been watching the tooth for about a year now, and knew that eventually, it would have to come out. So, yesterday evening, and this morning, she's getting lots of loves and sympathy. We stopped at Jamestown H-D, and visited with Allen, and learned that his wife Karen (Art & Linda's daughter), is recovering nicely from a broken leg. We didn't get a chance to see Karen, but wish her a speedy recovery. We also stopped at Jerry and Sue Turnshek's house for a short visit. They did a really nice job in remodeling their house, and were busy working on one of their rentals nearby. By the time we got back to Art & Linda's, it was well after dark, and I hit the sack fairly early. Sincere thanks to the Mitchell's for their parking spot, and hospitality. Today, we head back south, and I'll be taking the motor home to Phoenix this weekend for the Drag Boat National Finals at Firebird Raceway. My oldest son Mike will be flying into Tucson on Friday, and he and Marc will also be headed to Firebird for the races. Patty has found a cat on the internet that needs to be rescued in Flagstaff, AZ, and will be making the 3 hr drive while I'm at the races. Not sure if I'll come home to a new member of the family, or if the kitty will remain in Flagstaff until we finish working the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. Stay tuned!
