Jackson and Beyond!

I couldn't believe the temperatures in Jackson Hole! I checked the internet before I left and took 2 pairs of cords plus a couple summer slacks. It would have been better to take all summer clothes but you never know. The temps were in the 70s and I was in heaven. On Thursday, Denise cooked all day as they had promised to "cook" for Nicole's team with parents for Saturday night. She made 5 pans of lasagna, meatballs and gravy along with dozens of Brownies. I helped some but not much. We left Jackson early on Friday and drove 5 hours to Laramie. Now the altitude in JH is 6100 and I usually have trouble breathing but in Laramie, it was 7100 so of course, I had nose bleeds. I'm sure I could never live out there. We stayed with Nicole in her 1-bedroom apartment sleeping every which way. They lost their game on Friday but won on Sunday. About 60 people attended the dinner and it was a big hit. We gave the left-overs to the team as didn't want to cart it back again. Ellie's Birthday was on Friday and as she and Brooke didn't come with us, we celebrated it on Monday evening. Brooke was playing Powder Puff football at school and tore her ACL as well. She will have surgery in a week or so. Now, both of them have knee braces. We ate out some and also at home. I got home on Wednesday afternoon and am just getting back to the swing of things.It seems to take me longer each time. The old broad is slowing down, I guess. I have a lot of pictures and have to upload them to here (if I remember how....LOL). I guess Bonnie told you that she called me and left a message that she received the Pac-n-Play. I called her back and she talked to Joe and Denise as well. Time for beddy-bye so will talk to you again.

Glad you had a fun trip! Hope Brookie does okay with surgery.

Sounds like a good trip (except for the nosebleeds and leg braces!) Glad you're home safely.
