Tom Collopy – NR police officer/deer hunter

COMMENTS:
Rose was in her usual good mood today, she ate very well and was somewhat chatty. Tom Collopy got a deer this morning, came back to pick deer up on 4-wheeler and noticed the flat tire on Dr. Vespers car and offered to replace the tire with the donut. Since this is the same tire that was replaced in April when he ran off the road on Hopper Hill, Ryan at Arnold’s said they would replace it at a prorated price, if it not fixable. I had Dr. Vesper drop the tire off on his way to church and stop on his way back to check status. Turns out, there was a hole in the side of the tire (not fixable), will order new tire, but will take a few days.

COMMENTS:
Rose had breakfast and lunch before a late day shower.  She was alert and engaging, but started dozing off just before everyone arrived to celebrate charlottes birthday.   She only slept about 10 minutes and woke up in time to enjoy a great spaghetti dinner with homemade sauce, courtesy of Stephanie. Dr. went back to bed after breakfast and slept until almost 2 PM. He decided to do a little leaf mulching before dinner.  Dr. Vesper went back to bed after breakfast and slept until almost 2 PM. He decided to do a little leaf mulching before dinner. We were not able to get  we were not able to get his tire pumped up, because Sandy couldn’t find her dad’s air compressor. I will call roadside service in the morning.
