Speical Dates

This is our latest project.  It started out as my idea but since I couldn't do some of it my hubby did most of the work.  He is such a sweet guy.  We soon to have 22 grand children & I thought it would be neat to have all their birthdays listed like this.  We also put in our kids birthdays & their spouses plus their anniversaries too. 

Happy 91st Birthday

 My Mom turned 91 on the 23rd of September.  We had a party for her at Pizza Hut.  She enjoyed herself. 

New Cast

 Off with the old cast.

 The incisions are healing nicely.

 The under layer.

 Then two layers of the cast material.

All set.

Sunset on Little Traverse Bay at Petoskey

 We took a couple days for a mini vacation.  We went to Petoskey.  Stayed at a motel with a good deal of half off.  They also have meals all day long & free hair cuts.  The name of it is @ Michigan Inn & Lodge.  While there we went to the beach & got these pretty pictures.  It was not the prettiest sunset we have seen but pretty all the same. 

Progress on Podunk Bridge

 We had been gone for a couple days.  When we came home the road close signs at M57 & Stultz were gone.  We didn't think they could have completed the work.  This is what we found.  They have not put the pavement on it but the road is open sort of to drive on the dirt.  It will be good to be able to go that way to church now. 

Podunk Bridge

 We stopped today to see how they were doing on repairing the bridge.  This is what it like now.   We were on the south side looking north.  It appears that mostly what needs to be done now is to replace the road. 

This picture shows the cement culvert instead of the metal that they had before.  In is picture it has black stripes of something on it. 

Second Round

Off with the dressing/cast that was put on during surgery. 










More incisions & stitches than last time.













Xray of before, see the longer bone in the thumb, the smaller bone under that is what was removed.











It is a bit hard to see but the xray on the right shows the
space where the bone is missing.  It is not really an empty
space as the tendon that was taken out of his arm is circle
up in that space but does not show up on xray.

Back home with the new purple cast.  I told him he is matching his shirt.
