Back in Yelm

We returned back in Yelm on October 7.  Mom and Dad were getting a new propane tank and stove installed so we came to help out with the coordination.  We also had a few appointments to do in Tacoma and Puyallup so it makes it quite convenient to drive back and forth from Yelm rather than Chehalis.  We plan on being here into next week, with no definite plans but taking it day by day.












You would think there would not be any yardwork to do living in an RV.  Not true.  Our leased campsite gets plenty of falling leaves so we need to continue to keep the site cleaned up by blowing off the leaves.  While here at Mom and Dad's, we have been helping trim bushes/trees which I enjoy - the weather has been great and of course I do enjoy being outside.

Lexie did not improve from the steroid shot, so we took her back in a couple of times to the specialty vets and this time they had her looked over by a neurologist.  They did an MRI of her neck, shoulder and leg.  At first they thought she had a slow growing tumor, but the radiologist ruled that out, or at least for now.  So, the surgery doctor got a second opinion from another radiologist and they would like to do another MRI next week, taking it at different angles.  In the meantime, she is taking it all in stride and we just keep her in pain pills and as quiet as possible.  I think it's harder on us watching her limp than it probably is on her.

The week of October 7th, I enjoyed going into the office in DuPont and Tacoma.  First visit since I retired.  It was great to see everyone that I had a chance to visit with.  The Tacoma office and views are wonderful.  It was great catching up on all the people movements and new announcements.

Nothing else new.  We are getting the time to visit friends and family more than we did while working. We hope to start planning our trip agenda soon for when we head south in mid-January, but first we have to get Lexie taken care of.

Seahawks - 6 and 1 - Great Season!!!!!  We did enjoy attending the last home game against the Titans - not a wonderful game to watch - but great outcome!!!!
