Aug in Pagosa Springs, Colorado & Lea Book will get to Publisher




4 Aug: Medical: 3:45 PM, MRI 

3 Aug: Good Sunday Morning! Ron started early doing the final pass through of Volume One. In just one week, he accomplished eighty-eight pages; there is a good chance he will have Volume One ready to go to the publisher in three weeks, God willing. By evening, after spending hours on broken links Ron decided to go to the market for groceries.  Cynthia decided to see if her seminary will accept her recently published book, Sunday Offerings, as her PhD dissertation. She was ABD in Nov of 1997 when she had a life-changing horseback riding accident, her son Scott died from Leukemia a few months later. We will walk to the corner in an hour. 

2 Aug: Another great day! Ron had a very challenging Sudoku captivating his attention until two PM when we walked for lunch. Cynthia is avoiding news by focusing on FTDNA. We walked again tonight to check out two restaurants for salmon. It was fun to learn that the upscale French bakery, Faire, is owned by the same woman who had the Two Chicks and a Hippie restaurant in there, but this new cafe is managed by her daughter, Bethany. Two Chicks has greatly expanded and is very successful. 

1 Aug:  Happy, happy August!  After two weeks in Pagosa, mostly spent in our hotel room with hip pain, healing appears to be on the horizon.  Cynthia’s hip pain is greatly improved, thanks to a spinal relaxation exercise recommended by Dr. ChatGPT.  The MRI is scheduled for 3:45 PM on Monday.  Colorado Spine is scheduled for Friday at 11:30 AM.   Vol I is getting the final pass through.  We have five weeks to finish the index for Vol II and maybe Vol III, God willing, before we ride to Denver, then to Minnesota about mid-Sept, and through Iowa in early mid-October.  Then we start planning 2026?  Yikes!
