Not much news from anyone this summer. I did hear from Marty Harper today and she tells me Don is recovering so nicely from his back surgery earlier this summer. He still has to wear his brace and can't lift more than 25 pounds but to me it sounds like he is doing very well.
Jim had a very light breakthrough covid case a couple of weeks ago, wasn't ever really sick, did not have a fever but had a very raspy voice. His throat wasn't sore but it was hard to talk and his thinking was "wonky" or as Barb says, brain fog. Apparently that hangs around for a while but it is getting better. He did have extreme fatigue and still tires easily but otherwise is fine. We've been remodeling my bathroom and just like last summer when we did Jim's, things never go as planned. We built this house in 1973 and it has had several renovations over the years including the bathrooms. Mine and Jim's started out as one very large bathroom when we built it but after the kids left we divided it in half and now he has his and I have mine off our bedroom. But as is always the case, it's easier to build new than it is to remodel old so once again it's been a challenge but we will get it finished one of these days.
It has been very dry here in Central Wisconsin and we were supposed to get lots of rain today but somehow we only got a few very light showers, not nearly enough that's for sure. The farmer's market and roadside stands are stocked with lots of fresh vegetables and the corn and bean crops look great in spite of not having a whole lot of precipitation all summer.
If anyone has news that you would like to share, please do let me know and I will be happy to post it. Enjoy what's left of the summer - the days are getting shorter and before we know it, fall will be here.
