LABOR DAY WEEKEND

There hasn't been a whole lot to report the last little while, but I wanted to update the blog so that everyone would know we are still alive. ---

Doug went to the Bob Dylan concert at Deer Valley last night with a group of friends. They stayed the night in Park City and had a great time. He said it rained before the concert started, and then began to pour during the last song.

Because the concert was outdoors and they appear to be up on the mountain a way, this is the best Doug said he could get...but I guess it is proof that he went. :-) I'm really glad he had a good time!

Tyson has been working in the afternoon/evening at the Roy Target so we don't see a lot of him these days. He seems to be loving his job working security, and after 30+ years of work...I've decided that happiness is far more important than making millions (which isn't to say that you can't do both!).

When Tyson was young (he still is, but I'm talking in the single digits) he was pushed into a wall at church, which was covered in a ruff burlap type wallpaper. The scrape became infected and he ended up with a nasty infection. Since that time he periodically has trouble with the staph infections popping up in he same location on his forehead. Well, this week was one of those times. This time it seemed to be worse than it has been previously as it went into his lymph nodes. He was pretty miserable for a few days. We have learned over the years, and was actually instructed by the doctor many years ago, that as soon as we see signs on his forehead that he is getting an infection, he needs to be put immediately on a strong antibiotic. Fortunately, he seems to be doing better and his forehead is looking much better than it did a few days ago.

This picture was taken a while ago, but Tyson is still as handsome as ever!

Jamie came home for the Labor Day weekend. We didn't do anything, but it was sure nice to have her around. I know that Buddha misses her a lot when she isn't home, and the rest of us do as well. --Poor Buddha, he is on the couch across from me, laying on a pair of Jamie's shorts; which he promptly brought to the living room the second she pulled out of the driveway.

She seems to be doing well in school, and keeps me updated pretty much daily...as you probably have noticed from previous posts. I'm extremely glad she sends me notes and pictures. She is a cutie! One of the notes she sent on Thursday letting me know that I would be very proud of her, she bowled a 151! hoot hoot! Good job Jamie.

(I would insert a picture of Jamie from the weekend here, but the two I took I was instructed by her to delete. I told her that I wasn't going to delete them from my camera, but promised they wouldn't end up here :-) )

Kerrie continues to work hard, and unfortunately deal with pain and discomfort continually. She is very strong and at times I wonder how she has been able to tolerate the trial. She has done a lot of work out in the yard the last week, and it is looking good!

I am doing fine. Not much is going on...work, home, sleep, and start all over. ;-)

Here are a couple of pictures of the dogs and I. They are such good "kids" most of the time.
