Race to Robie Creek

Yesterday was the race to Robie Creek and Deanna's husband, Greg, ran it. The race is a very popular 13.1 mile race with over 2,000 participants each year. The race starts at Fort Boise and ends over the mountain (Aldape Summit) to the Robie Creek Park. Greg did the race in 2 hours 5 minutes.

In 1992, Don, me, Deanna, Jim and Chuck did the race. I think Deanna and I did it in 3 hours 15 minutes--once is enough for me! The last hill is a killer!

Finally got to clean up and remove the bandages. Still quite sore, but am able to move around with less pain. I actually did some applique (hand sewing) today. You don't realize how much you do with your dominant arm until you can't use it!

Rotator cuff surgery

Well, Ihad my right rotator cuff repaired on February 19th. Stayed in the hospital overnight. Still not very mobile, but the pain is more manageable. Dad is a great caretaker! Hopefully the worst is over. I don't seem to be as bruised as last time. It is really interesting doing everthing with my left hand!

Went to Mountain Home on the 31st and took the kids to McDonald's. I've decided that I'm going to post pictures and comments on this site and cancel myfamily.com because this site is free. Jim and Mel also have a blog at brothersfam.blogspot.com. Our blog is brothersgrandparents.blogspot.com. Feel free to comment or start your own blog. This is a good way to keep in touch with everyone. Mom
