TUESDAY UPDATE ON DAVID

This morning Howard and Bob R took a road trip up to Mayo in Rochester to check and see how they were treating our friend David.  They must be taking good care of him, because I think he looked really good, particularly for all he's been through!  He is real anxious to come home, as expected, but it may be another day or two for arrangements to be made.  I also think he's tired of the view outside his window--more construction.  Since it looks like it's going to be a couple of months with no weight bearing, Mayo will be transporting him back to Waukon.  Howard and I told him how many people have been concerned about his condition, and I told him that I didn't realize he had that many friends!  Hopefully the next time we are able to visit him, he will be here in Waukon and updates will be provided.

While we were there, John and Mary O'Neill dropped in to see David.  They were there to visit little Oliver, their grandson.  He is now up to seven pounds and seems to be doing well also.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT'S RIDE
As I mentioned previously, I will have a get-well card for everyone to sign and give to David when he gets back home.  If you can't make the ride Wednesday or the ride on Sunday and want to sign the card, let Bob R know and arrangements can be made.

SUNDAY'S RIDE
Also, as mentioned before, we have a RTE scheduled for this Sunday.  We will ride up to Wings in Dorchester for brunch and then continue on to Houston for a visit to the National Owls Center.  Plan to leave Casey's at 11 AM.  I talked to Linda at Wings, and she will be expecting us around 11:30.
