St. George

We are in St. George. My family (what's left of it at home, excluding the g-unit) are in St. George for a swim meet. We stopped off in Richfield and my swimmer daugther cut another 5 seconds off of her 50 yard time and 11 off of her 100 yard time! Way to go, princess! It has been a long day, a long drive. We are in a different hotel than the kids (about 105 of them, all in high school so you know how that is) and it is calm here. It is late. We got some bad news about our dog, Ginger, who is getting old. She has been limping so we left her boarded and getting a check up while we are gone. There is something wrong with her lumbar. Don't know but the vet wants to take x-rays (150 bucks, ugh) to see what is going on and the extent of her problem. Don't know what it is yet but I think we will get the x-rays and make an informed decision. She is big, she is a wolf/malamute, and she is getting older. We have had her about 8-9 years. She is a good puppy. I don't know what is going to happen. Could be nothing and it could be really bad. We will know a bit tomorrow. Anyway, here we are in St. George...
