Sat-ur-day… in the Park

Back to Whitefish – post eye Dr….beautiful day and SO grateful that my eye is ok.  Karl was with so we stopped at our walking place – now the Soccer fields…

daughter, Dad and ??? in the trailer:

Family always something special about Dad’s and daughters…maybe because I’m a daughter.  This little girl was interested in Karl and she and her dad had a short discussion about his color and white “socks” as they passed.  I couldn’t see “who” was in the trailer…

The photos following show the soccer fields which were being used for their intended purpose today. 

 Also below is a view into Glacier National Park with the pond in the foreground that is home to a variety of birds at least – this entire area is a bit of a wetlands – reclaimed by manmade methods for the soccer fields, a church and housing subdivision.  Privately, Karl and I preferred it as open land… but change – progress are inevitable – even in Montana…

got Jacks, got Rooms, got Stars in my eyes!

The beast aka “Wild Thing” is home!  The jacks work, the rooms work…. a pump relay was replaced and the old one found to have arcing.  The BIG question is….what caused the arcing and the motor failure and are we cured or just treating symptoms.  I actually think we are cured but time will tell.  I’m planning some overnight trips VERY close to home along some bumpy roads – to mimic a long trip – and see if a literal shake-down brings up more trouble or if we are good to go.  Still – a motorhome – house on wheels – made of atoms (not my line but I like it!) – things are going to break…

Stars in my eyes – well, the “stars” I’m writing about…several days ago, Karl and I bumped heads playing…  His head hit me on the browbone above my left eye hard enough that I saw stars – Pretty, but OUCH and I thought I might get a black eye, but no so I forgot about it until yesterday when all of a sudden a large floater in my eye and then last evening a flash of light when I moved my eye. 

I looked on the internet and scared myself silly so called my eye Dr. this a.m. and they fit me in to the Sat a.m. schedule… So far so good – the thing that floater and flash “possibly” signifies is detached retina – which they can fix but better to find and fix sooner than later.  At any rate, the retina is not detached and they will keep an eye on it.

The good news is this fun eye patch that they gave me – they dilated the pupil extra to really get a good look and it is extremely light sensitive until it returns to normal…and I have 1 or 2 more checks so….
