Spring Break 2010

So things have been pretty hectic:

• Daisy Grace has improved immensely. She is eating, gaining weight and doing most of the things dogs do on a regular basis and it all looks regular. We don't know how long all this is going to last, but for now we are thankful.

• Mary, Daisy and I along with Aunt Debbie traveled to DuBois, PA to facilitate an operation on Bette's eye. This involved driving to Pennsylvania, getting a hotel room, staying one night, checking out and loading up the luggage and Bette and her stuff into the old van and driving to Shadyside (a neighborhood of Pittsburgh) checking int0 a suite, unloading, making dinner, getting up and checking out, repacking the van, taking Bette to the hospital for her operation, checking her out and then driving to the airport to pick up Debbie and then driving back up to DuBois to get Bette settled, get us checked into a hotel and then get something to eat. Whooo! Then there was a week of recovery and then another trip to Pittsburgh for post op and then dropping Debbie off at the airport and then back to DuBoise for some more Bette care. Eventually, home.
• We had a nice Easter dinner at Aunt Nancy's and Uncle Sam's. We had a nice visit with Paul and Judd and that's pretty much it.
• So, all is well with Bette's eye. The trip was a success.

Up to this point people have been asking me if I am counting my days until retirement. I had been too busy with contest play and all to care. However, when I get back to school on Monday, I think I will start the countdown. Frankly, I am getting a bit excited.

That's it for now. There is a new link for this blog so if you follow it, please change your link.
Thanks for reading and for caring.
Peace to you and to those you love.
