LILA OUT OF HOSPITAL

Cindy indicated in an e-mail this morning that Lila was out of the hospital, and back at the Baptist Home. She is feeling much better, but will be more dependent on dialysis after having had her urinary tube removed from her kidney. She is still having trouble swallowing food properly.

ON THE RANCH

Combining has been in "full swing," with excellent yields on the barley.

Mavis, Marilyn, and Dad went to Bismarck last Thursday to visit Lila and her family, and Dad got along just fine, although he moves more slowly than he did in his younger days! When they got to Bismarck, they heard a noise in the car, and discovered that a kitten was in the wheel well!! It had ridden there all the way from the ranch! It wouldn't come out, so Mavis took the car to a garage where they removed it. She then had to buy a cage to take the kitten back home. Quite a story!

Marilyn and Issy had a great trip for a week with their travel trailer. Marilyn is feeling fine after her heart surgery.
