Lately

My life lately hasn't been that interesting. Mom had her surgery almost a month ago. Friday will be a month actually. In some ways it seems like longer and some ways it's flown by. I knew this was going to be a long road of recovery but I don't think I realized I was going to be as tired as I am. Mom has been recovering so well and I can tell she is improving everyday. She goes this coming Monday to get the stitches out and a new cast put on for two more weeks and then, hopefully, it's downhill from there. Therapy is supposed to start at week six and we are praying that she can actually put her foot to the floor by then. This would be an appropriate time to thank so many of you who have called, sent cards, come by, brought food, etc. In times like this you really and truly find out who your friends are. Thank you for all you have done.

There have been several times that I have gotten the chance to get out a little and have some "me" time. (Kim, thank you so much for coming and helping as much as you have with mom. I love you to pieces!) One Saturday night we were asked to play down at Tannehill and we had a great time. We had to make a shortened trip just to play and back, no jammin' in the sound room but we did get to go eat beforehand. (By we I mean Patrick and myself). The next Saturday we were asked to play for the City of Sumiton's Verteran's Memorial Group at the Sumiton firing range. There was a shooting competition and they needed some entertainment so we showed up! :)

I'm only ATTEMPTING to play!



We had a great time playing, like always. I am glad that Patrick loves it as much as I do and we both have parents that love to play as well. Hopefully I will have an even better update about mom very soon and some more good news. I start working at Bagley for a lady who is taking a maternity leave within the upcoming weeks so I will try to post again about that soon. Hope everyone has a great weekend coming up! :)
