Bruise

Craig had his blood drawn yesterday by someone who he described as "a phlebotomist who trained by correspondence course."

GJ road trip

Back from the weekend trip over to Grand Junction which was punctuated by some nice moments but was mostly a stark picture of the trials of aging. Craig's mother has declined precipitously since we saw her last summer and that was when she had a broken pelvis. Now her Parkinson's is really bad. It takes her minutes and minutes to shuffle a couple feet. She can't find words when she is trying to talk and eating even the minute amounts she manages takes a good portion of her day.

It was nice to see Ginny in her wedding dress and meet the new husband. Here is a picture of the happy couple:

And the grandparents and the happy couple.
