August, 2010

Wow! What a full calendar! I went to the Ward campout the last of July and that was fun. I took Wendy's big tent and the usual stuff, cot, food, etc. and didn't need much as I ate with Rich's the first night and Miles's for Saturday breakfast. Gay went with me to set up the tent on Thursday and then went home. Glenda Rich and two g kids helped. I had to go back Friday to work in the temple and then back to the Mountain (Iron Springs) for the dinner and then I was responsible for the campfire program. I got five men to act out "The Book of Mormon by Dr Suess" It was good. Gay and Wendy came to help me again then went home. I did ok except going to the bathroom in the night and losing Shay. I went around softly calling, "Shaaay, Shaaay" and finally turned around to go back to the tent and there he was following me. Next time I will get me a portaPotty.

Matt and Melinda's wedding is Aug. 6th. Family Camp is next weekend and then Ed Week is the next.

We had our Gangster Video night Aug 3rd. It was a fun one. Gay had Niles & Connie bring one of his restored cars for pictures. It is a red and black Modle T. I went as a flapper girl. Gay wore a black and white checered suit etc, Wendy and Wanda wore dark suits too and they really looked the part of gangsters. We watched "Blue Eyes" (I think) while we ate calzones, pasta-potatoes, salad and crembroule (???) What ever - it was sooo good. But I got pains in my left groin so bad I could hardly walk. Next morning was worse, but I uses CR's crutches and had art class. Dr James White came to paint that night and told me I better get Xrays. So he called the Rx in to the hospital next morning and Gay took me down. I borrowed a walker from Doris Burton which helped a little, but had excruciating pain whenever I put my weight on it or lifted it. We were afraid it would be a fractured pelvis or hip, but Dr White called that night and said I wasn't broken but I have a really bad case of artheritis. So I was not able to go to the wedding. I am here alone, just laying around. Not what I like doing. Dr said to take a bunch of Motrin, but it wouldn't kick in for about 3 days. I don't think I will be camping but hopefully will be able to go to Ed Week. Oh well, such is life these days!
