June...Another
busy month of Dad's doctoring, traveling and packing up the condo!
On the 3rd
we attempted to fly to Fayetteville, NC to attended our grandson,
Bailey's High School graduation and Brandon's promotion ceremony.
Well we made it as far as Washington, DC that night. We got messed
up out of Great Falls...only one seat so Dixie took it. Mike arrived
in Denver on the afternoon flight – hence we could only get as far
as DC. We did make it to Ft Bragg and the Teague household on Tue.
morning. We had a great week with the family and extended family.
Bailey's graduation on the 5th
was very nice and we had a wonderful dinner at the Japanese place
afterwords. The next day Brandon and grandson, Nicholas ran in the
Army 10 mile Run. They both did great and Nicholas beat his Dad. He
also got 3rd
in his age group which was excellent as it was 13-19 yrs olds and he
is 14. Then on Friday Brandon was promoted to Lt. Colonel. That was
an awesome site and we had a wonderful party celebrating his
accomplishment. We headed back home on Saturday which turned out to
be another overnighter...this time in Denver. We made it back home
on Sunday! Time for more packing before the next trip! We rented a
storage facility and started moving stuff there, to the motorhome and
some stuff to Doug & Fran's condo.Dixie
has kept busy going to doctor appointments with Dad & packing.
He had surgery on the 18th
to clear the left carotid artery which the doctors felt caused the
stroke. He will need the right side done in July. He came through
the surgery well (it was pretty risky so we were thanking the good
Lord alot). We were scheduled to go to our FMCA RV Rally in
Billings on the 15th.
We did end up going on the 16th
and stayed there until we knew Dad made it through the surgery ok.
We then left on the 18th
for the International RV Rally in Gillette, WY. We were there until
the 23rd.
We had a good time there attending classes, shopping the vendors and
visiting! It rained and hailed while we were there and over 2000
motorhomes were parked on grassy ground. Needless to say it was a
challenge getting out of there on Sunday due to the mud!!! Many RV's
got stuck so we waited around until about noon and finally made it
out. It was quite a site to see. There were wreckers and trucks all
over pulling RV's out of the mud. Since we got such a late start we
overnighted in Harlowtown and got back home early Monday morning.
This was the last week to pack so we were busy little beavers. We
sold our living room furniture and the TV stand on Craigs list and
the people that are leasing bought the washer/dryer and dining room
table and chairs. Luckily Doug & Fran came up twice this month
with the pickup and helped move some of the bigger stuff. The rest
Mike & I moved with the Tracker and Dad's SUV. Oh and there were
more doctor appointments!We
finished cleaning the condo on the 29th
and we turned over the keys on the 30th.
Boy are we glad that is over with! We are staying at Doug &
Fran's condo in Great Falls for the rest of the summer. They are
building on/remodeling their house at the farm so they are spending
most of their time out there. We really appreciate being able to
stay there. We will be making a few other motorhome trips this
summer as well. We were glad to see this month come to an end!
