We spent most of the day with Lori resting. She had a 101 degree fever last night before bed but seems to be fever free this morning. We did go out for some groceries, but that was about it. Our close friend, Ben, who had the July 4th party, wasn’t feeling well and ended up in the hospital! He’s still there as they found a freakin blood clot between his heart and lung! WTF! I told Lori he seemed a little out of sorts on July 4th. Ben and Eleni are the other couple that went with Lori, James, Addy and I on Lori’s birthday, to the Kentucky Derby Party.
Mom used to say, getting old is hell. While that’s true, I prefer to look at it as a privilege, as a lot of people don’t get to grow old! So there, glass half full.
Good news, my good buddy, Davy, is buying the house basically next door to us! He and Abby (his wife) moved from Vail to Santa Fe, and it just didn’t work. About two months ago, when we were talking, I told him, just go tell Abby we’re moving back to the Valley. Last night he said when he got off the phone with me then, he went and told Abby just what I said. Turns out, they’re buying the house two lots up from us! His uncle is one of the Supreme Court Justices. Jag and Ty went to school with a couple of his kids. Davy is also going hunting with James, Marty and I in October. It’ll be really great to have them as neighbors. He and I are super excited. Their family, Gorsuch, has been in the Valley since Vail was founded.
Ty came home last night. He’s basically assumed the role of front of the house manager at the restaurant. He directs the staff on what to do and they all come to him when they have a question. As I said, this is for the front of the house, not the kitchen of course. He works at 10 this morning as they’re doing that Sunday night thing during the summer. Tonight is fried chicken night! We might go as I love fried chicken!
Everyone has been sending well wishes to Lori and is sorry we had to cancel our trip. In a weird way, I’m actually kind of relieved. Don’t know why, just a feeling. I have to tell you, right now is about the most beautiful time there is to be in the mountains. 75 to 80 degrees every day and the high 40’s at night. Gorgeous outside right now with blue sky and cool temps.
Jag and Ava are doing well. She heads back to New York tonight for about 3 more weeks. He’s done with his summer graduate class and of course was tops in his class. He has 3 more weeks of work too and then will be done around August 3rd.
That’s it, time to go. Have a great Sunday and enjoy life! God Bless.
