We used Thursday and Friday as travel days back from Denver. The docs wanted me to take frequent breaks so I didn't get blood clots, and I wanted Lu Ann to get in a little shopping to salvage something of her messed up vacation. I had a bad night Friday and went to the Cedar Rapids hospital on Saturdsy. The admited me, got me on IV antibiotics and this morning they took out my gall bladder. I am back home feeling much better.
Jacob's pumpkin report: vines are growing out of control so he did a bunch of pruning. Some pumpkins are pushing 200#: at that rate we couyld get something huge if Mother Nature cooperates. A couple turning into birdbaths. He has been packing sand to try to keep them from turning over, but no help. It will be a couple weeks before I can do anything in the patch so it up to Jacob for a while more. The storm that caused all the Iowa flooding damaged our electric fence. But Jacob got it fixed and only damage was a couple of ground hog chewed leaves.
At least we didn't get flooded yet. But I know a lot of people who got hammered by the Lake Delhi blowout and a lot more who are going to get hit by near record flooding on the Wapsi. So despite all my problems, I thank God for all the blessings.
