Back Again

It's getting harder and harder it seems to keep up with posting but I will try to do better.

Things have been rather busy lately.

In October we held a benefit auction to raise money for our youngest son to go to a seizure clinic in CA. The auction and taco feed were a huge success! We appreciate the many donations of items, time, money and support.

In March I had the first of Carpal Tunnel surgeries. I'd been having an issue for years that was getting worse and decided it was time to do something about it. Surgery went well. Started on having the right one done first since that's what they recommended and recovery has gone well. Had the left hand surgery done on May 1st. That surgery went well and recovery is going better than the first one so that's encouraging.

We have such wonderful spring-like weather since February that everything is coming on early. We are opening our strawberry u-pick patch this weekend which is 3 weeks earlier than usual. We planted about 8000 new plants this last month and some of them are blooming already too. Unfortunately I think we're in for a long, dry, hot summer.

Because of the two surgeries I haven't been able to work outside during my time off from work like I would like but hubby has helped out with that some. He takes great care of me. In fact, he takes such great care of me he made me bacon, a favorite treat, the day of my second surgery. He completely forgot I couldn't have anything to eat until after surgery that afternoon and felt horrible about torturing me with the smell. I did eat it as soon as we got home though. It was so yummy. 

I've been enjoying the grandkids immensely. We see our youngest one the most because they live so close. One of the joys of growing older is grandkids! Such blessings.
