My two beautiful great-grandchildren!

I guess the best news of the week is that
we went to the VA and the report is Robert is
doing very well.  All the things that should
go down, have gone down and all the things
that should go up, have gone up!  The best
of that is that he feels good.  Perhaps not
as well as he did at 80, but certainly
better than he has felt for some time.

Robyn was here last weekend.  We had a
family get-together which is always fun.
It was good to have her here, if only
for a couple of days.

Our road is still closed at South
Boulder Road and is now also closed at
the other, Baseline end.  We are boxed
in.  WE do, fortunately have a back way
out.  The county has paved all the pot
holes of that exit which meant they
re-paved 90% of it.

The leaves are going rapidly from our
ash trees and the back lawn is a yellow
bed of leaves.  We have yet to start the
clearing up process.

Today  we are headed for Greeley, CO to
an opening of the "first electric
charge station for electric autos, east
of I-25." There are charging stations
in Boulder and I assume in Denver also.
We are going in the Van and I shall
probably stay in the Van.  Depending
on what the parking situation is, I may
be able to sit out in a lawn chair
under our awning.  Robert is to be a
host and answer questions and drive
people around in the electric cars.
Just his cup of Tea!  It's a lovely
day and it'll be fun to "play house"
in the Van again.

I checked with our Health Insurance
provider and found that they cover
folks over 60 years-old 100% of the
cost of the shingles shot.  Now I
find out.  In any case I have now
had a shingles shot in hopes that
when the shingles re-occur, as I'm
told they will, they at least will
be somewhat modified or not happen
at all, I hope.  In any case since
getting the shot the pain has
increased so I guess it is doing
something, but I'm not sure that
is good.
