Back Home

We spent four days in Moab together which was a wonderful thing for us.  I was attending Core Academy learning about the new Common Core writing standard, so Garth got to just hang out all through the day.  However, he was busy taking care of me most of the time. 

I am sure I have the most wonderful husband in the world because he was there making sure I had everything I needed, and that I was able to get to my room and settled in for the time there.  My classroom was on the second floor with lots of stairs to climb,  Being without my cute big oxygen machine at night made my legs not work very well (muscles need air, you see).  That, and with my terrible size, knees, ankle, lungs, and everything combined made going up and down those stairs too tramatic to even think about.  But, my wonderful husband who knows how to take care of people, arranged for me to get a key to the elevator to keep for the entire time we were there.  He also got me a chair to keep my leg up (swelling became a big issue during the week).  He was there to help me get to the lunchroom (downstairs), and back up to the room, and out the door at the end of the day.  I am so glad he was there and not concerned about going off hiking the trails or sight-seeing.  He was able to get in nine-holes of golf, but the next day he paid for it with a sore back.

We loved just riding around the area together, and eating in a different place every night.  We ate salmon, enchiladas, chicken, steak, and salads.  Main Street in Moab smells wonderful with all the different fragrances from all the ethnic food there.  Our biggest decision all evening was which one we would go to.  We picked some very good places and had great food.  The company and conversation was even better.  It is nice that we can spend some time together and still enjoy each others company.  I am lucky to have a husband who still wants to be with me after all these years. 

I love you, dear!
