He brought his new trailer up and Nina and I drove over in our motor home and met at Hoback Junction, Wyoming, just about twelve miles south of Jackson Hole on the Snake River. We arrived mid-day on Monday, August 21st and left mid-morning on Thursday, August 24th. We had a very nice time. Perry and Chris are a lot of fun to be with. We can talk about anything and everything (and usually do).  Perry is eight years younger than I am. He was barely ten years old when I left home to join the Air Force. Consequently, we don&#8217;t have any of that childhood baggage that sometimes comes between siblings (we have some examples in our families). He&#8217;s very easy going and great to be around. We&#8217;re talking about doing some kind of a trip together next summer. He&#8217;s recovering nicely from the chemotherapy and they are quite motivated to live life as full as possible for as long as possible. We&#8217;d like to be part of that as well. I took a few pictures and have put them in the pictures! album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My brother Perry had a few days in a row off, so I took some vacation days as well.
