Campground commercial, and another update

Buffalo Ridge Camp Resort
Custer, SD

We had some excitement yesterday at the campground!

One feature of the old Flintstone's campground
is a train that travels around on a track
with a tunnel, dinosaur canyon,
and a cool western town.
The local Fox station came to film
the train in action for a commercial airing this summer.




Everyone from the campground got on the train,
except for George :-(
The cameraman and his assistant
were in the back filming as we rode the track.



We picked up a few more passengers from
the Magic Show that shares the property
with the campground.


As we rounded a corner,
the cameraman had us all wave..


I can't wait to see the finished product!

In the meantime, back at the hospital...

George got his catheter removed,
is getting to eat solid food as of today,
and is finally free of his IV.
He's able to walk around the floor a bit too.
It's looking like he'll be home tomorrow or Thursday!

His surgeon will be on vacation,
but next week he wants to see George again,
then will schedule his next procedure.
He will be able to dissect a section of his colon,
and will be able to do it laparoscopically.
We're happy about that because the recovery time
will be much shorter.

George is anxious to get back home,
and back to working as soon as possible.
Everyone here misses him, 
especially me!

At least I have these guys to keep me company..

  8. I guess the company is letting you keep the train. That is very coil. Must have been quite the Flintstone set up.Wonder why they pulled the plug? Glad to hear George is doing so well. Easy does it on going back to work though.
