We are in Utica, Illinois, which is just outside the Chicago metro area. Since we have arrived the temperatures, during the day, have been in the high 90’s every day with the humidity unbearable. The two air conditioners in our RV do not shut off until well into the night.
We have been catching up with friends and getting some errands out of the way. It did cool down a little on the evening of the 4th so we ventured out to a local town to watch fireworks.
We are scheduled to leave here on the 11th but our plans may change as our daughter, Kim, who lives in the area has taken a job in Knoxville, TN and will be moving there later this month and she may need our help to accomplish the move.
Before I close I wanted to close a story line that I wrote about while we were in Lake of the Ozarks. I mentioned that my niece’s husband suffered a freak accident resulting in emergency surgery. Out of respect to their privacy I did not write about what happened, but my niece has written about it in her blog. If you would like to read the details please click on the link to her blog http://simpsonpartyof5.blogspot.com/.
This was a freak accident that could have been much worse. Fortunately he was able to get proper care, eventually, and is on the road to recovery.
I would like to end this event on a light hearted note. At the first hospital he was taken to after the accident the nurse’s in the ER all wanted to be on the case as they do not get many gun shot wounds in that ER. While waiting for him to be discharged I noticed the ER patient monitor at the nurse’s station and there were 5 patients with the following injuries, sprain, fall, GSW (gun shot wound). We all had a great laugh over that.
