Day 1231 - 1266
Sorry, I can't believe it's been so long, but we have been occupied. Chris came back to work, the houses are coming along nicely, we went to a wedding, attended the store's 75th Anniversary party, etc, etc. How can you tell it is summer? The most significant change is that Glenn is more willing to attend these events, and as he is out and about, more people lose their inhibitions around him, and realize he is as goofy as ever. He usually has people laughing soon enough, and that is the real ice breaker.
He did scare Chris and me very badly on the 12th of July, as a piece of wiener slid down his throat, and he choked. He actually passed out, and I had to put him on the floor to huff the thing out of his throat. He came to and wondered how he got down on the floor. Chris had been on the phone for 911, but we both realized they would have taken too long to get to us, so we were lucky this time. Thank goodness for a few first aid courses we took when we were driving bus, I sort of knew I had to get that out, and compression was the only way. I had tried to get it out by putting my fingers in his mouth, but he bit me so hard I couldn't do anything more.
There, I won't talk about that again, we were pretty shell shocked, and supper was not finished by any of us. Now we cut his wieners in half, and try not to distract him when he is eating.
We managed to go camping last week and were happy to have a good stretch of weather. In fact, we fried, so that is amazing for this year. I realized that I can't do it without help, but Wendy came, and the kids stopped by, so we did OK. It was good to get away, even though it is a whole new bit of work. We bought a tankless water heater for the camper, and it works very well. Glenn and Chris figured out how to hook it up, and we were happy to be able to run hot water for dishes right into the sink. Luxury!
I could babble on, but the houses are waiting for finishing, and we are not very good at waiting. The kids would really like to move, and are a bit more impatient than we are, but they have a bunch of new stuff to play with, I have a bunch of old stuff to sort through, which probably makes a big difference. We'll let you know when the big event happens.
'Til next time,
Louise

Itis great that chris is back at work. I am so happy. He certainly has recovered well and quickly.
So good to hear that Glenn is going out more. That's positive for everyone.
What can I say? First Aid to the rescue. Good thinking and action. That would be so scary. How are your fingers?
Where did you go camping? Up north? It would be fun to have Wendy along. Its super to be able to get out and about. It does end up being a different kind of work but in a different place. But it is wonderful that you can.
Sounds like everyone will be moving soon. Its so exciting. (Wish I was!Oh, well, will have to find another place.) That packing and purging is a gigantic job. Best of luck on that!
Take care. Love. M.
