UPDATE ON LILA, ETC.

Tim said today on the phone that Lila is "not doing the greatest." She is having trouble with her "bad" eye, because of pain and drainage. Her oxygen is low causing some periodic difficulty breathing. She said she was just not feeling very well generally. Unfortunately, all of this will keep her from going to the Labor Day event at Dad's.

Charlene is coming to Bismarck to see her and will go to Dad's on Labor Day Monday. Linda has been ill and is getting some tests done to see what the problem is. Tim isn't sure if he can make it to Dad's for the weekend. Cindy is planning to be there. Don is enjoying his new boat and doing a lot of fishing!

Lila is of course excited about the staking of the site for oil drilling at the Scrivner place, as we all are.

SETTLED IN CONDO

We are finding this rented condo much to our liking. It is nicely furnished and has beautiful views of the Catalina Mountains and the La Paloma golf course from two patios, with lots of walking paths around the fairways to allow for good exercise. We explored our neighborhood on foot early this morning before the heat set in. Fortunately there has been lots of rain lately, making the landscape gorgeous with flowering plants. The temperature has moderated a bit, only climbing to the mid-90s this weekend.
