Fairly quiet
It's been kind of quiet the last day or so. Been in contact with my mom trying to monitor what's going on in Florida, and whether there is any indication that we need to bail and get back there. She is under hospice's care now. What an organization! I am so impressed with what they do for people approaching the ends of their lives. It gives them dignity and support that they need so badly. My hat is off to the hospice folks. Our very good friend Ray is a hospice volunteer, and we know he brings joy and comfort to his charges.
We have really enjoyed being here at Deer Creek. We are reveling in the room, privacy, views, etc.
If you look real hard near the left side of the photo, you can see the smoke from the fire I described. It was only there one day so we are sure they put it out.
We decided to take a bike ride yesterday morning, only about 5 miles, but pleasant along the Provo River. It was green and cool and lovely.

Near where we turned around was Bridal Veil Falls. It's funny, cause there must be hundreds of Bridal Veil falls in the country, anyway, this one is near Orem, UT. About 400' high!
The rest of our day was quiet, checking in with mom, and kids. It had been quite humid here and pretty hazy, but a few thunderstorms moved through, took out the haze and left us with this to say good-night.

Hospice is indeed wonderful for all concerned. It certainly can make the last times not only comfortable but a special time for loved ones.
That being said we wanted you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and Thelma. As far as our plans go, do not even for a second be concerned about canceling if that is what you need to do. We will have other opportunities to be on the road together. It is important that you do what you need or want to do. And you have our full support whatever your decisions. As always if there is anything we can do we are ready to do it.
Thanks so much Nancy. We really want to do our trips with Karen and with you guys. We realize that everything could change drastically if mom needs us. It is so nice of you to say out loud what we know you guys would think. Keeping our fingers crossed that there is a good and easy progression ahead of her.
