Well, it's been three months now since an update. We are still in Grandview waiting to finish up with our "doctoring". It seems that it is taking longer each year to diagnose and cure all of our ailments. I finished up in July with a prostate biopsy that was negative. No kidney stone problems since about January. Emily is still trying to get her thyroid problems straightened out. The doctor is trying to determine what medicine will get her thyroid regulated without having to do surgery. She was supposed to have a thyroid scan done last week but they had to delay it a month since one of the medications that she had been on would interfere with the scan. We have had to cancel our trip to Medora.
It is still terribly hot here. It gets up to 103-104 nearly every day. We don't do much but just stay in and try to stay cool. We would like to find somewhere that is cooler(since our house is on wheels) but it doesn't appear much better anywhere in the country. The grass and pastures are all dead and we are having to feed the cows. Of course, in this kind of weather the price of hay is terrible. We took the kids(and Rebecca and Rachel) swimming at the big swimming pool at West yesterday afternoon. Emily and I didn't swim so it was very hot. The kids had a very good time though. Afterwards we ate at IHOP in Hillsborough.
About two weeks ago we went to a Fort Worth Cats baseball game. They have rebuilt the ballpark on the site of the old Cats field that was torn down years ago. When they started construction on the new field, they discovered that the old original concrete dugouts had been filled in and leveled. Since they wanted to build new dugouts closer to home plate, they were going to dig up the old dugouts. Someone suggested that they clean the old dugouts out and use them for special suites. The dugouts seat up to ten so we researved one for the ten of us and attended a game. We were served complementary(??) water, cokes, hotdogs and popcorn and were given Cats ball caps. The mascot spent a lot of time with the kids since we were so close to the action. Carly got to dance on the field with the mascot(named Dodger since the old Cats were a Dodgers farm club) and Dominick caught a foul tip. The first base coach threw Carly a ball. Everyone had a good time.
