Now that it is time for Alice to return to Panama City, Panama she finally got in to see an orthopedic specialist! He diagnosed her shoulder problem as a bruised and possibly slightly torn rotator cuff, but with no time to obtain an MRI he simply gave her a cortisone shot- oh, and another in her arthritic knee, then told her not to strain the arm at all for a week... hmm, a fifty lb. duffle bag of boating supplies to take with her... well, all ablebodied men will be recruited to help out.
Alice spent last week in Clovis, CA, a suburb of Fresno, with daughter Alison and son-in-law Rod and the eight children at home. It was a busy but happy time. She got to take Jacqueline and Andrea to gymnastics and FIVE of them to piano lessons. She also helped with a bridal shower for Rod's cousin and tried to keep the kids on track with their jobs around the yard, as the wedding reception was held at their home last Saturday! The shots above show 17 year old Blake and Grant, 10 with John, 2.
And now she bids adieu to all the challenges she has had with house and car repairs and the concerns for her brood, even though they are all grown. A mother's heart is always tender when it comes to her children and grandchildren. There will be lots of prayers for their welfare while she enjoys being back on Grey Wolf with her Honey!
