It was a longer fall than I was originally thought. 300 feet.

Scary
I have been looking forward to granddaughter Sarah's upcoming visit next week, but that's not going to happen now. Sarah fell about 20-30 feet while hiking in the Colorado mountains, and had to be airlifted with a Blackhawk helicopter. She has many broken bones, and a long road to recovery ahead, but fortunately no head injury. To say this granny is a little upset and worried is an understatement, but it could have been much worse. I want to just jump on a plane and fly out there, but I know I would simply be in the way.
Please send prayers, good energy, and healing thoughts to our girl.

Family Time
59°f/15°C, clear. Another beautiful day.
Two whole days without rain! And clear, cool weather for a change. It won't last of course. Tomorrow is expected to be hot, and Thursday rain is on the way. Sigh.
We had a great time with our son George. The guys played golf Monday, but bought me a new battery for our van on their way home because mine has been getting weak, and left us stranded the other day. Fortunately our son Derek was nearby and had a jump box. I went ahead amd ordered a jump box for us too; very handy thing to have.
They even put the battery in. I think i raised them right!
Then today George and Larry went up to Sarah's cabin and weedeated for her, as she will be visiting next week. After that, George did some weedeating for us too, which Larry certainly appreciated. I worked on trimming my veggie garden, and cooked: fried potatoes, link sausages, sliced tomatoes, toast, and eggs scrambled with onions, mushrooms, and spinach for breakfast. I made some wraps for a late lunch, and a batch of peanut butter cookies.
We ate well! Now George is headed home and we are on the way to open mic. Busy day.
