Ok People, since Kari already has some pictures of mom on here and she is at home.  I figured I better get the hospital pictures on here.  This is after surgery and the wrap they had her leg in.  There is a drain tube there that you can see.  Don't know what else to say to describe it.        

 The next pictures are of mom in the hospital wearing her "Bear Paw" lilac colored gown.     Don't know if I can ever say that I have seen mom in a lilac colored anything.  So here is the proof. 

This picture was the first one that I took of her in her 'lilac gown'.  She was not quite ready for the picture.  And I am not for sure about the pain level at this point. We joked about her lilac gown.  It looks more blue in the pictures than it really was.  It was definately lilac.

So since I am way late on getting this posted, I hope you can forgive me. 

Someday I will get this stuff figured out.  Now if they will just keep it the same, then I won't have to relearn everything.  That is frustrating to me.

Alright, I will try again.  What will be on here will be old news but I wanted to see how it was going before I tried the newer stuff.

Caleb tried a new look at the 8th grade Omaha Medial Center State Science Meet.  Hmmm... who does that remind you of?

Now I have a few family reunion pictures to throw out there.

A couple of the water slide:

WHOA!!  Aunt Penni really gave me a good spin!

And some lounging:

Finally, the "pick" of the day.  Kari's pasttime

So that is just a quick run of the summer.  Sorry so slow on the draw here.

Another incident in the Udd household......I had an unhappy teenager that stomped out of the house and left the premises.  As I was scrubbing ceilings, getting ready to paint them the next day, a breeze comes through my window.  It has a strong aroma and I am talking STRONG!   It is only 5:30ish and I did not think that the rodents would be out yet.  But sure enough, a skunk was within a mile of my house.

About 30 minutes later, I meet a teenager coming in the house.  He had to exit immediately and strip down to his scivvies.  He had to hang everything on the clothesline, including his ball cap.  When he left the house his mother, that was me and I was very ticked at him, told him his guns and motorcycle are off limits until he can change that stinkin attitude!!!  

On his walk to escape the grizzly at home, he happened upon a skunk.  Since he did not have a gun, he took the next choice.  Notice, I did not say the next best choice!!  He proceeded to find a nice healthy stick and beat it to death.  Needless to say when he walked in the house, he was pretty potent.  So into the shower he went on his own.  I gave him some vinegar to wipe down in and then some goop to clean up some more.  ( These are some hints that Nikki gave me. )  Then he washed down some more with regular soap and shampoo.  His clothes are in a 5 gallon bucket with a baking soda solution in it.  That will set til he gets home tomorrow and then he will rinse them out and we will go from there.

Guess that is the new interesting incident at the Udd household.  Hopefully you will not have to experience this in your own house.
