Home in Colorado...

Lisa, Simba and I flew home on Wednesday night June 24th. It was a much anticipated homecoming, and it feels good! The weather has been fairly nice. A little rain on Thursday and Friday but this weekend has been awesome. While we think Simba is a good traveler, I don't think he enjoys it as much as we do. Though he seems happy to be home. He's bounding around, running the stairs, going outside (supervised of course) and just generally being himself.

There were a couple scary moments when he let out a few screams at the airport and seemed to have some kind of convulsion...but then he settled down. When we let him out here at home, he kinda tipped over and had another seizure of sorts. I checked his breathing (bad breath and all) and his heart. He settled down and was fine. We think we gave him to much drug on an empty stomach. Now we don't know about dragging him back to FL only to leave him with his cat sitter when we go to Maui, or leave him here and hopefully have somebody deliver him to the Denver airport when we are passing through on the 5th of August. Decisions, decisions...

I had a dental appointments and a Dr. visit so I've checked out pretty good. I want to get off my blood thinners, but will wait till we return at the end of September. I had a good talk with my Doc, so that was very good. We decided to spend the weekend down in Westminster. We had been talking about running up to Edwards, but in the end it was easier to stay down here and do chores around the house. Weeding, power washing porch/patio/garage, painting, cleaning, etc. We went to Kristi and Haig's house for dinner Friday night and our friend's (Mike & Terri) on Saturday night.

We plan to go to Edwards on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. The 4th of July fireworks we can see from our deck are spectacular!! The best display in Colorado (we're told) -- I leave for Argentina on July 5th and get home the 11th. I'll be reunited with Lisa on the 12th. Then it's 10 days till we return to CO for a couple days and then we go to Maui for about 10 days!!

The future beyond that is not so clear...
