As our friends are voting today (or have already voted), Tom and Debbie reside in Louisville with Tom's son Mark's family. When we left the river, friends Carol and Glenn picked us up and took us to their home in Indiana where we had stashed our truck-camper-macgregor. A quick trip to Florida with a three day turn around brought us back to Louisville. Tom came back a week early to attend a funeral of a long time hunting/neighbor friend.
The Mark Smith's reaped the benefits of this week early arrival with a host of house projects: Find the short in a circuit breaker, fix the bathroom wall behind the shower, replace an old wood door to the backyard and putting same-keyed locks on front door and things like that. They made us feel right a home. Debbie helped with the cooking and tool fetching. Kids Katie, age 10, and Will, age 13, entertained us with sports games, gin rummy and poker.
Tom's orthopedic apppointment was yesterday and today he had his PAT (preadmission testing). Tomorrow is the surgery for a meniscectomy. Some time after November 10th when he is scheduled for his post-op check up we will return to Kentucky Lake and Catrina. We both miss not being on the river but are so happy Tom can have the surgery this week. I guess it really helps that son Mark Smith couched doctor Mark Smith's son for many seasons! Tom is getting the VIP treatment from a well respected Orthopedic Doctor!
