August 2019

Emily and Jayson sold their home on the day they listed it and bought a new home in Spanish Fork the next day. So that was quick! We had a special Cousins' Breakfast with Chris and Becky who were spending several days in Utah. In August we headed to Vernal to celebrate her fourth birthday with Evelyn Alta. On the 23rd, after three weeks in a boot, I went in for surgery because not only was the fracture not knitting, it was opening wider. All went well and the recuperation has been pain free without narcotics. The Ensigns got their house packed up and moved in with us for a few days while the final construction details are completed and the loan closes. That has been fun; they are good and neat house guests.

 Frosting cupcakes for the party later

 Restaurant and bowling on the reservation outside Roosevelt

Dinner with the Hayes family; I love the Native American upholstery

The break had grown worse and required surgery

 Screws and wires post surgery

 This cast will do the trick -- hopefully

 I know, right?

Unless something really exciting happens before, I will be back in a month, but this is all for now.
