Yesterday we went down to Denver so Lori could have her hair done. I went to REI with Jagger and then we had lunch, while waiting for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our longtime friend and hairdresser, of over 25 years, looked like she aged ten years from her scrape with death a few months ago. You might remember she had something wrong internally, was opened up for a few days, had sepsis, and almost died. She now has to have a hernia operation October 2nd from a hernia she got from her incision. We feel so sorry for her as she lost a bunch of her hair and as I said, just looks way older. Thankfully she didn&#8217;t die. Lesson here is life is fleeting, and things can change in a day, or a moment. As you get older, there are lots of these wake-up calls, as most of our friends are older being the same age as us. It&#8217;s just part of life, but when you grow up and see some people just going through the motions, it makes you question what to do with your time. As I always say, time and freedom are the most important things now. Not more money, a bigger house, a new car. Spending time with family and doing things you enjoy are the goal. Just my rant for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ty is off today, and Lori and I are going to lunch in the Village with Ben and Eleni. Might get a few rain showers up here this afternoon. Tomorrow Lori has Katy&#8217;s memorial service in Denver and says she can go alone, as she&#8217;ll be hanging with the girls she worked with. I might still drive her and drop her off and then pick her up. She says I should stay home and watch football though as she knows it&#8217;s a big game. If she changes her mind, I&#8217;ll still drive her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it, have a great day, take care, God Bless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten days from today, we leave for Italy.
