So, Husband-man, aka Dear Husband (DH, which is the abbreviation we use on the RV FB pages), had his first cataract surgery last Thursday, and will have his second this coming Thursday. For the next forever weeks (not really – 7 weeks, really) there will be eye drops. Lots and lots of eye drops. He says that the change in colors is amazing. The restrictions are only a little bothersome. He can’t drive for a while, and he can’t bend over past his waist. This makes it difficult to set up our above-ground pool for our July 6th summer party. But given that he was essentially one-eyed, the surgeries are necessary, and in the long term, a Very Good Thing,
The reason I have not made a blog-post in a while is that we were gone for about a month. We went to Oregon for DH’s 50th college reunion. It was an excellent trip, from which we learned a lot. (The Castle, our 5th-wheel, is just the right size; we should not do more than 3 one-night stops in a row, and between the one-night stops we should make three-night stops so we don’t have to choose between shopping/laundry and sightseeing – that sort of thing.) The reunion went well, as did a dinner with my long-time college friends at another friend’s house.
We are between the worlds right now: dealing with the next cataract surgery, getting ready for a party on July 6th, and another trip – to the Flagstaff Highland Games – in mid-July, with the trailer (the Castle) in the shop for some warranty work. I kind of feel like I ~used~ to be a writer, but soon, relatively speaking, I will be back at it. Yep.
Till then, hope you’re having interesting days as we pass Midsummer and head toward cooler days to come – in a while. 🙂
