FLORA FELL AND BROKE HIP!

On Monday January 18 (Aleisha's birthday) we got a call from Huntington, Utah that Flora had fallen and she broke her hip. She was out shoveling snow, slipped on the ice and lay there for two hours before anyone heard her. Her children took her to the hospital in Price and then she was taken to SLC. Don and I packed up our car and headed for Huntington to take care of Dad. Dad was so upset that he hadn't heard her. Dad pretty much takes care of himself. He can get around with his walker just fine. We just want to make sure that he doesn't fall also. We really enjoyed ourselves while we were there. Larry came on Friday so we could go home and get our home ready for company on Sunday.........Bret's babies blessing. However Larry was only there one night because Flora was able to come home on Saturday. She requires 24 hr care.......so one of her children will be there at all times. Flora has some great children. They have really been wonderful with Dad also. Thanks Dalley's for all that you have done for our father. We love Flora and wish her a speedy recovery. She is a GREAT LADY!

There was a lot of snow falling while we were gone to stay with dad. Larry went up one day to snowblow the driveway but when we got home we had to leave our car out in front and walk through the snow to our front door. The snow was up to our waist and we were laughing so hard that it was hard to make it. I wish we had a photo of that!!! Well we finally made to the front porch and quickly got our snow clothes on. I grabbed the shovel and Don took the snowblower. It was 7:00pm when we got home. I came in at 9:00 and Don was out there for another hour. It was so pretty. The snow was still coming down. We still enjoy living in the snow.

Here is Don after he finished the driveway. The next morning he had to get the snowblower out again and take care of the 8" that fell during the night.
