Since last "update", my partner for 14 yrs, Patty, and I got married in July this yr['23], and we went to Canada and Oregon, where my daughter, Allison and husband Chris reside. Canada was planned ahead of time but turned out 2 B a "honeymoon". Patty said it takes her awhile to make a decision; therefore the 14 yr span [lol]! Dealt wth alotta smoke and fires while in Canada, but we luckily stayed ahead of the flames. It was a great trip we really enjoyed. Saw 3 of their major Nat'l parks, wth Banff the biggest. That is Canada's Yellowstone, but our Yellowstone is still the best park I have seen.
Allison, who lost her kidneys after child birth gone wrong in 2017, finally rec'd a kidney in2021--so grateful 4 that. Her body has finally adapted to it and she is doing well.
I'm pretty much enjoying retm't, but have dealt wth 2 hand surgeries and a total knee replacm't. As I'm sure you've heard, "Gittin old ain't for sissys".
Take care y'all.

OK, all you folk who were lucky enuff to catch totality as I was wth my wife,Patty, and friends,[ol classmates, mentioned in my other posts], at Rupe's--you will be glad to know, wth a good amt of "Back knowledge" frm Space.com, that we were seeing Prominences during Totality; Not flares. Still very exciting 2 c with the naked eye. I saw 3, wth the biggest, longest lasting on the bottom left in the corona. Although they are the Size of multiple earths, to see them clearly from 93 million miles away was, to say the least, spectacular. I'll never 4get the experience. Sorry some of you could not make it to Rupe's, not only for the Eclipse, but for the grillmaster's [RUPE} expertise!

Met up wth Joe Gierzak and went to Rupe's land, [and house], for the Eclipse! He and wife Deb were great hosts--hadda great time and perfect weather for the 'show'. That was my 2nd total eclipse, most likely the last, unless I make it to 95. Mite have to wheelchair outside for that 1! Pryor and VanHala showed up wth their wives for the show and Rupe was the grillmaster. Great times...
