It has been awhile since i have been here, thought i would catch everyone up on what is going on in my life. Gee i am bad with run on sentences aren't I. Can you tell Grammar was never my thing. Anywho. Lets see, when i last left , I think Halloween had just happen.
These are the things that have happened since then. number one the kids voted on a picture they wanted for the clinic at school and the principal that had retired from there a couple of years ago is quite the painter. She spent a weekend painting the clinic wall, it looks awesome. I also have a sign. the clinic is coming together.
My grandson Tyler got through his surgery to repair his acl with no problemo now he is doing physical therapy to be the mean driving machine he was before the tore that ACL.
I bought my twin grandsons these cool Net books so we talk to them through skype which is free by the way. Their net books have a camera and so does mine and it is so cool. I get to have conversations with them face to face. which is just awesome.
For Thanksgiving we flew to Nevada and spent it with Ron's mom. She lives in this little town called Panaca, it is 3 and half hours outside of Las Vegas. When we go we always spend the night before or after we visit Ron's mom. This time we did it before, stayed at the Luxor. It was nice , i was so sick and tired that i was really unable to enjoy being there. The next day we took off for the middle of nowhere Panaca. there is literally nothing out there, we pass area 51 and you just keep driving, the drive is a string of mining towns or what use to be minining towns lots of Mormons live out there. lot of Ranches and farms. We actually passed one farm and the cows were actually tipped over, i don't know if this was a bunch of kid pranks or they were dead i don't know i just know in my small little education in farm life cows cannot lie like that because they cannot get up.
Right Cindy. Cindy i have to tell a story about you because whenever i see a cow i think of this story. My friend Cindy grew up on a farm outside of Havre Montana and we lived at the little base that was stuck out there. We were 42 miles from the town of Havre, I went to a one room school house honest i did. Anyway Cindy was on of my best friends and my family use to hang out with her family. My family even took care of their farm once when they went on vacation. My dad use to brag how he could milk a cow, well he probably could at one time, but this particular time that we were taking care of the farm it took my Dad like an hour to milk this one cow. He was sweating pretty good when we got done. :)
Some of my fondest memories of my childhood were spent with Cindy and her family on that farm.
Okay back on to current events.
Ron's mom's house is right at the beginning of a national park, how fun for Ron growing up. I mean how many kids get to have a national park in their backyard. I had to go to the doctor the next day after we got there, and get some antibiotics and i pretty much slept through the whole Thanksgiving thing. For that matter I pretty much slept through most of my whole vacation, i am better now. What a way to spend your vacation huh.
I go back to work tomorrow, i am looking forward to that. I get to start my hand washing campaign. well I am actually in the middle of it. This week we will finish up what we did the week before the break and this week we will start the next phase.
I am going to have a poster contest where all the students make a poster about hand washing, and the winners will get the honor of putting their hand prints on the bathroom wall in the clinic. I can't wait.
I hope you have a great time getting ready for Christmas. My Christmas shopping is almost done, now i just need to get busy wrapping those things which i have gotten. I cannot Christmas is like 25 days away.
The big local news here is all about Tiger Woods he and his wife I don't know it is kind of sad but funny at the same time.
He lives not far from where i work, he lives in this gated community that is located in a little town called windamere, which is really a stickler about things like that stuff like that just does not happen in that town. Some old lady is sitting there going what is going on we don't allow this stuff here. :) too funny.
okay hope everyone has a good holiday and have fun with family and friends. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas, Vicki
