Doing well!

We woke up in Ruidosso where the weather forcast was mid to upper 20's and it was 13. More frozen stuff. It was two years ago we went to a yard sale here in our park in Tucson and I picked up a spare water pump for 5 dollars, [ a new one is close to 100 dollars] That was a simple job to change. We arrived in Sunsites on Monday and parked at Ruth and Al. Al was and is in the hospital in Tucson recovering from a triple bypass so Ruth was gone. We spent Mon afternoon at Harry and Betsy, had supper there. Tues we went to see Aunt Helen at the home she is in in Cochise. She is quite confused most of the time. she looks good, lost a lot of weight and is being well taken care of at this home. Uncle John Weeks is doing much better since Aunt Helen went into this home. His back is better now that he does't have to lift her and almost do everything for her, but he is alone in the house and would like her back in the house, but that won't happen.

We planned to spend several days in Sunsites, but since Al and Ruth were not there, and Harry and Betsy left for a short trip, we left for Tucson, arrived here Wed, and have been busy since we arrived. Wed night was the Diamonds, [ music from the 50's and 60's], Thurs we went to the rodeo. This is a BIG rodeo, School is closed for a week, it is on TV, and we got great seats. Fri washed the crud off of the car, went to the woodshop and started on laminated roof racks for the kayak. Mom went to sew some things for people in wheel chairs. Last night, Fri, we stayed put and read. Sat we are cooling it, half of the people are under the weather, and the other half have company. 70 degrees.
