Lot's of things going on. We just finished Ana's visit with us last Tuesday and everything was wonderful. Everyone was happy and got to know each other. We went to Bonfante Gardens, the horses, Monterey Bay Aquarium and the movies to see Madagascar. Other than that we just spent time as a family doing family things. We even spent time running in the sprinklers acting out different things as we rang through. Everyone laughed their heads off when they got me to do a "ballerina" through the sprinklers. Ana is an adorable, loving, sweet, affectionate, smart and personable child. We constantly miss her and we are waiting to hear word from Nancy down in Guatemala about Ana's story and developments since the trip. It's been six days and no word so we are very anxious since we told Ana we would stay in touch with her. We are also waiting on the Power of Attorney form to be sent to us.
Animal wise everyone is doing fine. Jackie's growth on his ear is going down. Ana loves Jackie. Sumo tolerates her as part of the family but not much else. Ana rode Pali with no problems. Bonnie is mellowing a little more and we had a great weekend. Lot's of cantering Saturday. Some problems with the left lead. Just some walking around the track on sunday with some going over obstacles. Spooked Eli when we made some noise in the grass.
Russell is having surgery today on his lung. I pray he comes out OK. Hopefully nothing got into the lymph nodes. The results of his total body scan were encouraging. The rest of the family is holding up but I don't think Nana is going to weather this well no matter what the outcome. At her age, shocks like this can't be good for her. Mom has been restricted at the drug store from picking up perscriptions. Her primary doctor has threatened to quit if she doesn't know off fooling with her drugs. Donna bought a lock box to keep the drugs in. No word from the Lightbody family about Ana's pictures. Understandable since Russell is in such trouble.
Need to pay bills tonight and get some spider spray. Two black widows in two days is not a good thing. I sprayed for grubs yesterday. I need to spray for other insects too and for lawn fungus to clear up the front lawn problems. I need to clean the grill. I think the hot weather is making it smell a bit. The back and front lawns need some seeding. The garage needs micro screens put in.
