Quick update


GeorgeLesley

1,010 views

Just have time for a quick update. Summer is flying by as always up here. June was a blur as several cousins, etc came to FISH. The pressure was on to guide them to good fishing. I worried about all the usual things like will the weather allow it, will the bugs eat them alive, etc, etc. In the end it all went well, all caught fish including the 9 yr old boy. Both canoes in use stayed upright and dry, another worry of mine.

 

The 4th of July weekend we went to visit some friends in Wisconsin and entered our Alfa in a classic car show with 400 other cars. My friend and I had the only Alfa's in the show. Lesley walked 4 miles with a friend for some charity and had lots of fun as well.

 

Now some not so good news, Lesley recently spent 4 days in hospital with pancreatis. She is recovering but slowly. She also has some kind of yeast growing in her throat and esophagus. Not fun, but finally clearing.

 

Now I am getting ready to go with a friend for 6 days into the wilderness canoeing and backpacking/tent camping. And fishing of course.

 

After that Lesley and I are camping in our motorhome with some friends for several days. After that, we will be off in the motorhome for 2 months or so traveling out west in Montana, Idaho, and wherever else the road leads.

 

Whew! Just writing all of that tuckered me out!

 

Medically all is well, just finished another trip around the sun and still breathing, the sun rose in the East today, and life is good.

 

My coffee cup is empty....

My regards to Lesley, that has to be very hard on her but George you are there and will always be by her side during recovery... Happy motoring in the get-away-vehicle just stay safe, dry, and look out for the bad guys these days when camping...

 

I know you don't want to shoot anybody but guys are robbing like crazy in my state right now!!! I sure wish you could motor out my way but I know that would be a very long way from home for you!!! One day we shall meet in a mobile home park somewhere in the US of A!!!!! Take care my friend!!!

Is this another expedition for you and Dave? Just looked at your 2013 pics in the Gallery and boy that looks like a lovely lake and a pleasant place to camp. Do hope you enjoy your time there.

 

Sorry to hear Lesley had four days in hospital. I had pancreatitis before I had my gall bladder out, a big stone will do that, cause a blockage and the whole area inflames. Hope she is better now and with antibiotics etc can regain her health. That woman is so good for you George, she is a keeper!

 

Enjoy your mobile home traveling and remember to blog occasionally and post pics in the Gallery so we can enjoy your travels with you.
