Thank you for all the well-wishes last week. My mom had knee surgery last Friday, and returned home Monday after over a week in the hospital. I took a trip to the other side of the state to visit her this last weekend. She’s doing well, enjoyed seeing the grandbabies, and is now under the…
The following story is based on my very real weekend, but I figured it could double for my submission to M Pax’s Rifters launch. The story is true, just the location is fictional. I present, My Summer Trip to Settler, Oregon. My mother broke her knee. We were at a remote campsite, just north of…
