Current News bits and bytes

4th of July: 7/6: Great night - lots of firework carcuses around the neighborhood! 7/4: Our block is having its annual 4th of July Fireworks night. Join us for food, fireworks, and fun! Frank's bought a bunch of fireworks, the neighborhood is loading up on side dishes - come early!

Pyewacket update: 7/6: Pyewacket has been walking and eating pretty well today and seems to be alert for a longer period of time! 7/4: Our kitty that thinks he's a dog is having seizures for unknown reasons and has been at the vet's for the last several days. He's definitely not himself for periods at a time. Last sunday he was showing some symptoms and went to VCA to get looked at. They ran $450 worth of tests, said he was fine and sent him home 4.5 hours later. Instead of getting better, Pyewacket started drooling, his pupils dialated, and he pretty much blue screened. Luckily, a family friend redirected us to take him back to Emergency Vet's clinic. Pyewacket had a 104.8 degree fever and was given a 50/50 shot at making it. He had several grande malle seizures, and the vets indicated he had probably been having seizures for awhile. He has VERY SLOWLY started acting like himself, but still is having trouble with weakness, panting, and small facial tic. We'll keep everyone updated throughout the week as he hopefully continues to improve.

Banwart Bazzara update: Brett, Sarah (our summer nanny) and I got to go see Brett's new birth-brother Bryce and his family yesterday. Heather looks great ( I can't believe she just had a baby - she looks great! ) and the girls and Brett had fun playing together. Heather and I want to get the kids together more often on the weekends for cookouts and such.

SNAP fitness number 2 has opened, and Scott has hooked us up with a membership! The equipment is nice ( state of the art) and the location is pretty terrific - Academy and Tramway. Thanks, Bro. I'm also excited because my dad is going there too. Scottt had dad meet with a personal trainer to get started.

Garage Sale Saturday 8-12ish: 7/6: It's official - dad and mom can both park their cars in the garage now. we moved everything we could! The cousins had fun on the 4th when all of us converged on Dad's house to drop off flea market items.

Brett's back in acting classes on Monday nights!

We had a great time seeing you, too! Hopefully, we'll be able to get together really soon. Kirsten is always talking about seeing her "big brother".

It's very sad to hear about Pyewacket. :-( I'll be thinking of you guys & hoping for the best.

Just left my Mom's place the other day & saw the sign for the future SNAP #3 right in front of my face... you drive up my Mom's street from her house (heading west) & look straight across Unser at the new complex. WOW.... It never ceases to amaze me what a little-big town Albuquerque really is!
