Denver Times

It has been a good time in Denver, not an easy time but a good time. Last evening we were able to host some good friends and relatives out to the campground at Cherry Creek State Park. Greg and Jenna Hess came early which was great because we got to talk a little before the Anema gang showed up. Jenna is healthy and very pregnant, 9 weeks and counting and they seem so happy and it's just fun every time we see them. Jerry, my brother, and Marsha and their entire family minus Sarah came to see us. Aunt Dorthy and cousin Grace also came. It was good to see them all.


The main reason for stopping by Denver was to see my Mom who is in a nursing home and we haven't seen her for almost a year. She appears to be doing well and looks healthy for her 87 years. But, it is very difficult to communicate with her for a number of reasons. She is very unexpressive, hard at hearing, and only says a few words like "yes", "no", and once in a while a "what". It is hard to see a loved one like that but we are thankful for her care givers and trust our Heavenly Father to take her home soon.

This evening we had supper with my sister Marge and talked and talked. It was good to be with her and its seems like we pick right up where we left off when we saw her last. We missed seeing Keith and his family on such short notice and their lives are very busy, also we had spent a good deal of quality time with them at Wilderness Campground in Michigan in June.

Well, we leave for home tomorrow and I think we are ready. Having trouble with the battery and the DC charging system. Hope we make it home without having to get it fixed. The low battery alarm just went off so I need to hook it up to the truck to see if that will charge it for a while. I'm not sure if there is a circuit isolator to prevent the truck battery from draining so I don't want to leave it connected all night. Seems like rv life is a series of fixing things as they come up with the camper. To our GR friends, see you soon.
