Today is the last swim meet and we’re really late. I think we’re supposed to be there in 15 minutes and we just woke up so what am I doing writing this instead of taking a shower??
Well the misses has the bathroom now and the boys are still sleeping. We weren’t going to go to this but Mom changed her mind at the last minute. We had dinner last night with Paolo and Kristina before sending them off to catch their 9:30pm flight to Vegas. Today Maurzio and Alessandro (two other winemakers) land in Denver. The misses and I have our bowling / dinner with my former lawyer now judge, his wife, Jeff and Tina. Even though we’ve gone 12 days without adult beverages, tonight will be the toughest test yet. We’re determined to stay on track. Dinner was at a new place close to our house and we had high hopes of it being good as we really don’t have any restaurants near us that are very good. It started out good but how hard is it to make a good salad. Then  came the entrees and we were sorry to find out they just weren’t that good, oh well, the search continues.
It seems Grandpa Bob is not doing well at all. He has no energy for months now and his PSA is back up (he found out when needing to go to the hospital in Oregon a few weeks ago) and he’s been told that the cancer is back somewhere in his body. Most importantly he’s talking like it’s all over. The misses, understandably so, is quite upset. He’s telling her of his life’s regrets and talking like the end is very near. Now I don’t know whether it is or not but Grandma Dixie will call on Monday and try to find him a cardiologist to see right away as it’s supposedly something with his heart as well. The biggest worry is his attitude, we need to get him to change his thinking and be positive. I think we’re all going out to CA sometime later next week. I haven’t decided if we’re going to drive or fly yet, we really don’t have the money to do either but I’ll have to think of something as It’ll be at least $1500 we don’t have anyway you look at it. We thought of having the misses just fly out but he really wants to see the boys. I guess we’ll just trust in God on this one.
The boys are now up and they’re going to spend the night at Uncle T and Aunt B’s tonight. They’re of course super excited. The misses just noted how much salt must have been in our food last night as we’re both swollen up! You can easily tell when you can’t get your rings off the next morning. It’s now 6:05 and I need to take a quick shower, sorry about the short post but we’re burning daylight!
Take car, God Bless and say a prayer for Grandpa Bob,
