Another day we are blessed with…

I lost the hard drive in my lap top. All my graphics, pictures, music, school papers etc. Nothing was backed up.

Another day we are blessed with…

My father in law had surgery Thursday late afternoon. He had a tumor on his neck just under his ear. Mom didn’t feel she needed us to sit with her at the hospital. I heard from her at 5:30pm she sounded tired and worried. Dad had gone in about 12:30pm or so and he still wasn’t out. She still insisted she was fine down there alone just wanted to keep us up to date. At 7:55pm my brother in law called us, asking if we had heard from Mom since the 5:30pm call. No, we hadn’t. He decided he was calling the hospital. In the mean time she called my brother inlaw. He in turn called us. Dad was doing well and staying over night. The tumor was more invovled than originally thought not to mention the doctor wanted it out two or three years ago… stubborn!
Friday came with a Nor’Easter. Mom and Dad made it home before it really started. Yes, they let him home Friday… We went over yesterday to do their 1/4 mile long driveway. Dad looks good but thinner and for that I am worried. Mom is still stressed but she will work through it. She “retired” from her job as of a couple of weeks ago. Dad gets the drain out tomorrow(Monday). The biopsy will take a week. Trace had gone out with a friend for the day so he didn’t go with us which was fine too. Ty and Josh helped with the driveway and then built a big snowman for gramma and grampa.
We didn’t have corned beef and cabbage yesterday. I had invited my boss and her husband over but cancelled last minute knowing we had to dig my inlaws out. I am cooking today instead.
My neice has been in Guatemala with her University this past week. She called last night from Miami airport so full of excitement and trying to tell me everything all at once. I am so proud of my baby girl. I say “my baby girl” because she was born when I was 14 and we are very close. I can’t wait to see the pictures she took. They couldn’t stay as long in Guatemala City due to President Bush visiting. She imagined what we were seeing on TV and how different it was… she talked of riots and tear gas. I hardly ever watch the news so I couldn’t give her any info as to what we did get to see.

I received a call from the humane society on Saturday. Maggie has a brother and the other family would like to set a play date. I emailed and they sent a picture back. Sam is a yellow lab… I didn’t think it was possible but the more I talk to people and look online it is possible for labs to be all didfferent colors in the litter.
