I wanted to share a picture of the barometer/temp/humidity plaque that Mark Dentel made for us. We finally found a place for it! As you can tell, the detail is awesome and the anchor on top makes it really special - after all, we are a Navy family. Mark and Laurie are good friends that live in Dallas, OR. Mark works with me at Patterson Dental as a seasoned service technician. Thanks again, Mark!
My Dad is doing lots better. He stayed in the hospital for a couple of days. But, you can't keep a good man down - he's home and taking it easy for a while. I haven't heard about repairing the cracked vertebrae yet...I'll pass on the info ASAP.
Yesterday I picked up leaves prior to the downpour. Then Carol and I took Millie and Mom Peters to lunch, both are doing fairly well. A few aches and pains, but we ALL have those! Then we took off for church. We have a Saturday evening service that's the same as the two services on Sunday. NASCAR race today at Martinsville - go Jeff Gordon!

Dad is in the Hospital

Just a quick note to everyone - I received a call from my Mom tonight telling me that Dad was in the hospital with a back injury. He fractured vertebrae #L1. A CAT scan and MRI have been taken and injury confirmed. Dad's in alot of pain , even with I.V. morphine. He fell backwards while working at home, cutting wood for the wood stove. I called him (at the hospital) and he's in good spirits. He's at the Cheyenne Medical Center (307-634-2273) Room 4225 - Al Wegner.

Keep him in your thoughts and prayers, some decisions on disc repair need to be made in the near future.
