Well it looks like I am averaging about one post per month. Not a great average but I am hoping to improve. I decided that I would post on my blog before I checked email or facebook.

We had a good 4th of July. Because of my Bunnion surgery on Tuesday we did not go to any parades or stuff in the morning. I tried to keep the ice on my foot until evening when we had a barbecue and several people over including, Maren and Landon and family, Jimmy and Shelley and family, Evan and Shirley; Maren's in-laws; and their son Jared, Michelle and Daniel and their kids and Kirsten and Jon with no family because their kids were all with their ex's. There was tons of food but just as everyone showed up the power went out so we were glad that we were grilling. The power stayed off all evening and came on about 2:30a.m. We joked that the city probaby took the backup generator for the fireworks music. About 9:30 p.m. just before the city fireworks we all went in to get dessert and use bathrooms. At that point we found out that we had very little water pressure and it has not come back. No other neighbors have a problem so we have a plumber coming tomorrow. It was an intereseting 4th but we had a good time and the grandkids had fun with thier fireworks.

I iced my feet only once this morning and then went to church. I iced them when I got back but they are still purple in several places tonight. They actually looked good this morning so I don't know if that is normal or if I overdid. They looked really good this morning.

Michelle and Daniel and the kids, and Maren and Landon and the kids came over tonight and helped us to eat some of the food that was left over from last night. It was good to have them here and talk with them and the kids. Maren and Landon were both realy tired and Landon had a headache. Larry was worried about how it would work out with the water low but we had water stored in the food room so we made punch and washed with that and it worked out.

Larry had his last test on Thursday and it looks like the stomach problem he had was an ulcer. He is takeing stuff for that and seems to be doing okay but he is so self-sacrificing he would not tell me until he was dying. He has been good help with my feet. I felt really stupid because I did not understand from the doctor how painful the first three days would be and I literally had to get other people to help Larry with his test. Michelle took him in and brought him home. Then Maren had to take me and him to the doctor about my foot because he couldn't drive. Erick and Heather helped out with my surgery but Larry ended up coming because he was able to get off work early.

My Mom fell and is slowly recovering. She has an MRI tomorrow to see about a crushed disk. She is still hoping it is something like internal bruising.
She said that my cousin Nancy had a heart attack so I need to call Aunt Marva about that.

Nathan is coming around the 15th of July and Judy, Larry's sister is coming on the 21st. We are going to Disneyland with Maren and Landon and thier kids on Thursday so it will be a busy July.
