That is how long it has been since my knee started its recovery process. I am still improving, receiving therapy and anxiously hoping for normality to return. I am able to do a little bit more all of the time. I hope I don't turn soft in the long awaited return to normalcy, because I notice that I avoid physical exertion more than formerly. I did do the route on the bicycle yesterday evening after we returned from our temple shift. A nice thing happened to me on Friday. Dan was in the area on business and phoned that he would like to come out for a little visit. I welcomed him gladly. He volunteered to cut my lawn which I overwhelmingly accepted, because I had walked on it and noticed how uneven it was and how it made my knee wobble, and it's growth was accelerating. I also mentioned that my rain gutters were stuffed with leaves. My ladder is a bit big and unwieldy, so I knew the gutters would continue to overflow until I got stronger. Actually Phil had agreed to come out and clean the gutters. Dan just got here before Phil did. So now my gutters flow freely once again.
The last few days I have spent some time thinking about our family's part for the D. G. Hatch reunion in Pasco, Washington on July 3 and 4. Dana has been doing yeoman service in pulling this together. Carol has been so helpful to assist her and get some of us moving. At last count, there were 21 of us going from me and my children's families. Margaret has also done yeoman work in scheduling the Henry Hansen reunion in Oak Creek Canyon. I have forwarded to my family members the notice on that event on July 30 and 31. Because of temple commitments on 31 July, Clarine and I will only get there for the activities on 30 July. gwh
