I’m sorry to report that we’ve cancelled the 2015 Texas trip for the time being. We were supposed to begin the trip April 4th (tomorrow), but Ann’s 86yo grandfather’s health has slipped rapidly in the past couple of days. Hospice assistance is now being provided to him. While his death has been expected for some time, it’s imminent enough that we both feel it is better remain in Pasco.
If we find ourselves skipping Texas this year, we should still be getting to Colorado/Utah/Nevada. There are some places I need to visit and photograph for my current book, so that trip (maybe May??) might be the replacement. Mostly, I’m just itching for a good long trip after being cooped up in my office researching and writing most of the last six months.
Sorry to hear. I hope things go as well as they can.
Sorry to hear that. My though to you and your family
You are in my prayers. Just think though….86 years! What a life!
Sorry to hear about g-pa. Bummer. You guys will be in our prayers, too.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers as well Dave and Ann.
All our best Dave and Ann. Keep your eye on the mail. There’s a GOODIE on the way.
Hate to hear the trip is cancelled but my you’re in my prayers.
I wanted to thank everyone for their thoughtful comments. While hospice is ready for him anytime, her grandfather has improved slightly. Ann feels like there’s nothing more to do. Since he doesn’t want anyone to dote on him and she’s said what she’s needed to say, we’ve decided to commence with our trip. We are still finishing up some things, but we plan to leave either Saturday or Sunday (depends on when we get the yard finalized — plants and vegetables planted).
That’s great! Any improvement is a good thing. I’m glad to see you guys back in the saddle. Get the tiller going and whip out those veggie plants, there’s a river to walk and BBQ sauce that needs slathered! Good for you two. Ah, the power of prayer. Remember the Alamo!
