DAD AND THE RANCH

We had a grand time visiting with Dad at his house, and at a Father's Day dinner at the South 40 in Sidney. He continues to do amazingly well, despite his short-term memory problem. It was fun to spend time with him.

Our respect for the affection and attention provided by Mavis and Ron, Luke (and Abby!), Will, Marilyn and Issy, and all the others who help Dad out, continues to grow. They are doing a fantastic job of enabling him to live at home, when he would otherwise have to move to an institutional setting.

MARILYN IN HOSPITAL

Marilyn was transported by Issy to the Emergency Room at the Williston Hospital because of a problem with her heart. She stayed several days and got a recommendation from her doctor to go to Bismarck for more tests. When we left she was feeling better and looking forward to getting out of the hospital! All of her family came to see her and filled her hospital room with good cheer and good wishes!

MARIE'S MEDICAL ISSUE

We are now at Moscow, ID, enjoying a visit with Sherry, Wes and Nicole, having missed our visits to Grand Teton National Park, and Maureen and Mat's in Helena, because Marie was not feeling well. She went to Rockwood Clinic in Spokane, got some advice from a physician (who we had known many years ago!), and a prescription, and is feeling much better.

Cheers,

Bill and Marie
