Today our high here in Nebraska was in the high 80's rather than the 100's. There has been no rain and the drought continues; in fact, the corn cutters have already arrived and started cutting today. Some of the farmers have been bailing their corn rather than trying to harvest it. I have been seeing many cattle trucks coming through town, which means the farmers are also getting rid of their livestock, too.  Watch for your grocery prices to go up in the near future!

Today we went to the York Hospital Hospital to have a new hand brace crafted to replace her old one that doesn't stay put. It took most of the afternoon.
   Carlyn has a dentist appointment August 1 to act upon the persistent infection around her tooth we have talked about earlier.
   The weather here has been hot, humid but no badly needed rain. All of Nebraska is in a drought right now. The weather is to continue to remain the same into the unforseeable future.

On July 3rd Carlyn had a dentist appoint to address a swelling of her gum above the tooth that is an anchor tooth for a five tooth bridge. After x-rays the doctor said she had a crack in the tooth. He gave her a Rx for antibiotics to be taken for a week, and if it doesn't work he will try something else.
July 4th was hot and we just watched the great fireworks on TV. First from New York, then Bostons.
Today - Carlyn had x-rays taken of her foot and she was told it was mending properly, and the only thing was to continue with the ice packs as needed.

The weather has turned hot; the only advantage is there isn't any mosquitoes.  We went to York for eye appointments. Our doctor gave us a good checkup, saying she would see us next year unless we see a change in vision.
