But first, let’s catch up on what’s been going on with us this summer. We left Arizona in mid-August and stayed with Tess’ folks in Glendora, Ca, so that she could have one last reconstructive surgery (God willing), which went well this time. At the same time, John had a large skin cancer removed from his cheek and our beloved dog, Hazel, was diagnosed with cancer, so we all laid low for nearly two months of recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our daily entertainment was the game camera we set up–the day AFTER<\/em><\/strong>–Theresa finally saw her first bear in the wild! It seems that the fig tree on the corner of the house, about three feet from our bed pillows, attracts an amazing variety of creatures of the night. Although we didn’t get pictures of the bear, here’s the proof he was here! We also got together with some dear friends from John’s prior professional life for a great day of catching up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
