How quickly time flies!!!

I know it has been a long time since I posted but here goes. A lot has been happening. First of all, Gary and I went to Durango and rode the Silverton Train from Durango to Silverton (a life long wish of Gary's), and it was wonderful. If you want to see some beautiful country and have a really enjoyable day, just go ride this train. I would go again in a minute it was fantastic. We were gone for like five days and we came home through Kanab so that we could go to four corners, which was closed for remodeling, and then we went to pipe springs, which was closed when we got there, but all in all it was a wonderful little trip.

Gary has not been going to ranch at all this summer and it has been nice. I enjoy getting to spend time with him. I think he even likes not having to be tied down to the ranch. He is contemplating a back surgery but putting it off because he is fearful it will make him worse instead of better. The other day we were getting ready to camping up to Elkhorn for a week and so I decided to make cinnamon rolls. I needed more flour so I went to the trailer to get some and I slipped and fell out of the trailer. I could see I was going to land on my head, so I put out my arm to break the fall and the cement did not give, but my arm did. It just flopped. I was sure it was broken. I hollered for Gary (who was still in bed and dreaming that he could hear me hollering for him). He finally decided it wasn't a dream and so he came out to help me. It took quite a while and a blessing and a lot of prayer to get me into the car because I was in shock and couldn't move. Angela came over and helped Gary get me in the car by using the computer chair. Away we went to St. George. They gave me some nice morphine so that they could xray my arm. It wasn't broke but my whole elbow was dislocated. I have an awesome picture. So they gave me some more GOOD medicine and yanked it back into place I could hear it pop, but felt no pain. They put me in a splint and sling and told my to keep it on for 4 weeks and to go ahead and go camping but not do anything. The splint lasted about 4 days and then I had to take it off. It is still sore but I am getting back the use of my arm a little at a time. Jenna Walch cut my hair off because I couldn't do anything with it because my arm won't cooperate. We had a fun camping trip although I didn't get to leave camp much. I am sure that Angela and Leslie and Tonia will blog about the trip so I am not going to elaborate.

Well, I have to go and get ready for church. I hope everyone is having a great summer. It is almost over for us. Three more weeks and we are back to school. Bye for now.
