Catching up!

Sorry, that I haven't posted anything in a while, but life sure can keep us busy! We just moved Sarah down to Memphis TN so she could start grad school at University of Memphis! We left on Thursday afternoon and drove as far as we could (packed to the hilt and towing her car!) Wow, was it hot! When we finally got there on Friday, it was 105 degrees, ugh! Mind you it was in the 70's when we left Michigan, so it was quite a shock! Moving was horrendous, but we managed to survive it and get Sarah all settled in. I think we all lost about 10 lbs in sweat! We didn't do too much in the way of sightseeing because of the heat and we were totally exhausted from moving. How can one little girl have so much "stuff"?! We did go down to Beal Street and have dinner on Friday night, the BBQ was really amazing! Then after we finished moving her on Saturday we went over and walked around the campus at U of M. It is such a beautiful campus. Sarah really thinks that she will like it there. We wish we could have stayed a bit longer but Gary had work bright and early Monday morning so we had to get home on Sunday. BTW it was a whopping 59 degrees when we arrived home! I just turned the air conditioning back on yesterday because it got up to 90! Good grief!

On the day we got home we found out that my mom had to go into the hospital because her kidneys are failing. We are waiting to find out if she has to go on dialysis. The doctors are giving her medicine to improve her kidney function, but it isn't working the way they would like. I have been spending a lot of time up at the hospital to stay with my mom. Her nurses are always so busy they can't always get to her so my sister, and dad, and me all take turns staying with her to tend to her needs. I will have more to report when I get back from the hospital this evening.
