Today we are heading north. My sister Elvera’s granddaughter’s baby shower at Stewart. As long as we are on the highways we are also going to stop at my brother Michael’s home. Michael is in between cancer treatments and it will be good to catch up. It would be nice if the humidity were lower. Any day now . . . I am ready for some nice temps in the 70s with lower humidity and dew points. Best be careful for what I wish for.
P.S. We are home for supper after a great day on the road. We stopped on Hwy 15 at Winthrop for an early noon lunch. We had not eaten at a drive-in in decades. It sure took us back. Michael is doing well. He has gained 5 lbs. since we had visited him a month ago. The 24th he will go in for several tests. The main test will include drinking dye to see if the stint that had gotten a hole in it and poisoned his system has healed itself. Since that had been discovered he has not been able to eat or drink anything that involved swallowing. Michael has been on a feeding tube for the last month. He looks good. If all progresses as he hopes he will be able to continue the cancer treatments after the 24th.
The baby shower was well attended. After Mackenzie has her little girl, all of Elvera’s children will be grandparents. It would have made her proud.
As I mentioned we are home and it feels so good. There are detours everywhere and you had best be prepared to leave early and follow the course. It was a day well spent.
