Swimming Pool

Last week my physical therapist suggested I try aqua therapy.
This both excited and scared me. I haven't been in any water
in over 6 years. But I had to try.
Here I am being wheeled down the ramp into the pool.



The pained look on my face was that I started floating...
...way too fast.



I'm trying to smile but my neck was hurting from
trying to hold it up.
And you can see how tight my hands are.



Once she got my legs to float, I did relax...a little.



And all was good with a neck pillow.



Silverton, CO

While in Durango, we drove about an hour north to Silverton.
The temperature dropped from 80 to 56 degrees.
And you could still see snow in the mountains.

Durango. CO

A couple weeks ago Steve, Craig and I drove north to
Durango, CO for the weekend.



Above is the famous Strater Hotel.
We ate at a wonderful Mexican restaurant there.
We also saw a great local show there, too.



They had alot of rain just days before we got there.
So, the streams were very muddy...but beautiful.
