So Far So Good – Thank You Lord!

August 2, 2017

Today was another day much like yesterday. After moving Juno, Max’s Mom, to Aunt Helen’s late yesterday, Juno said she had a good night’s rest and seemed to feel pretty good this morning. Surprisingly, we understand Aunt Helen who is usually in bed by about 6:00pm was up until 9:00pm last night but according to David who came over to help with the heavy lifting, she forgot Juno was even in the house. So, thankfully, no fireworks– no need for a referee. YEA!! Today for the most part they seemed to be trying to be considerate of each other. Juno did get aggravated with Helen once when she was standing in front of her waiting for her to finish eating so she could take her plate to the sink. Helen seems to eat faster than Juno. That’s normal since Juno has Parkinson’s Disease. They each seem to be adjusting their schedules somewhat to be considerate of the other. We gave Juno a remote for the TV so they both can control the channels and volume. So far that has not caused any battles. Hopefully, this is all going to work. We worked on moving more of Juno’s things to Helen’s and getting things put away/arranged at Helen’s. Max and Randy installed another cabinet in the bathroom for Juno to use and we got some cleaning done. Of course, there is still a whole lot to be done at the Juno’s house to get things packed away and moved to Helen’s basement. Over time we will get it done.

Anne talked to her Mom at assisted living and she seemed to be doing well, too. She was going to try the facility hair dresser today and was going to go to the exercise class again this morning. Hope this means she is adjusting and making friends. Anne also talked to her brother Jim today and he also seemed to be doing as well as can be expected. He is staying busy and enjoying his work.

After another hard morning of work, Randy, Debra and David left to go back to South Carolina.  We so appreciate all their time and work. Love our family! We then went home to get FRED ready to go back to Sherman RV.  We have an appointment tomorrow to leave FRED at Sherman for a few days to get our punch list worked. We had arranged for this when we picked him up since we knew we would find some little things. We decided to basically empty the refrigerator even though they said they would leave him plugged in. We had a few other things we decided to take out just in case we need them. Now we just have to unplug and head out tomorrow.

Mt Riley TrailSorry – we didn’t take any pictures today so here are some previous ones. On August 2, 2014 we were hiking in Alaska. That day we hiked the Mount Riley Trail to the summit at 1760 feet, the highest point on the Chilkat Peninsula of Alaska. There are 3 different trail heads for this hike and we chose the Mud Bay route. It is the most direct route and is 5.6 miles round trip. The hike is rated moderate in the trail guide book. Beautiful scenery that is a little different than the typical mountains and glaciers. If you want to see more of our Alaska pictures, follow the link on the side bar to our Alaska Blog.

We will try to remember to take some pictures tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a good week.
