Moving Home

Journal entry by Julia Dafoe —

When life throws you a curve ball it just keeps pitching. The last two weeks have been eventful.  Mom (Toni) fell and broke her hip in Thermopolis and had hip replacement surgery. Bill’s apartment was adequate but not suitable for two people with mobility issues.

We have moved everyone home to the ranch over the weekend.  Bill is enjoying being able to see out of the windows and watching the birds, dogs, and other wildlife. The neighbors have also stopped by to visit and bring delicious meals and treats. 

As you can see the dogs are also very excited to have everyone home. They exhausted themselves greeting everyone.

We took the opportunity to go to town and visit Grandma Brown. She missed everyone these last 6 months.
