LAD and Zoro and a big fat b-b-b-b-bee!

LAD's bee bulging with sweet tarts and jelly b-b-b-b-beans, G'pa's favorites!

19 Jan., 2012 -- One small step... then a thousand

And you thought
it was a tough job to teach a baby to walk!
The front view.
We got in through the back door.
This is our room at Cox Orthopedic Center, third set of windows on the right. It's like a hotel, with meals ordered from the menu. But: automatic wake-up calls beginning at 3 a.m., 5 a.m., three daily sessions at the gym, free stuff (rubber gloves, hand sanitizer, tv, panoramic vista of the parking lot).
As much as we like it here, we'll be home tomorrow afternoon. Another small step...

7 January, 2012 -- Dashaway all

Hazy ring around the moon. I guess our clear sunny days are over. I was walking the cats, then they disappeared. A deer dashed through the pasture nearby, then dashed back to the other end of the 10 acres, with a bitsy little black dog chasing it and yapping. Dog wasn't much bigger than the cats, but they saw it and did their own dash back to the house and guarded the door. Cats, deer and dog were dashing too fast to get a picture. Only the moon was moving slow enough.
