This Past Week In a Nutshell

Journal

This past week has flown by. Of course, it all flies by any more!

Carly went back to school.....and did fine! It's still a long road back but it's moving smoothly now.....or seems to be. She is doing well with her G-Tube and is eating okay anyway for her teachers.

Zak had his best first month-plus at school of his high school years. I hope I didn't jinx that! He celebrated 6 months with his girlfriend Taylor and they seem to complement each other very well...she's a nice girl.

My Mom has continued to have health issues and has been in and out of the hospital this week and as of this writing is being assessed for a broken elbow and dislocated hip (falling while in the hospital) and her ability to live unassisted in her apartment.

We had our first dinner out in a while with Pat and Pamela Hale and it was fun. Later that night we watched Tipp High School continue its undefeated season beating Bellefontaine in a close, well-fought game.

Saturday morning Pat Hale and I announced the 50th annual Mum Festival in Tipp City (pictured above). Kathy and I, Zak and Taylor then took in the Festival. It was a full day.
