TECHNOLOGY, etc.

I am so surprised at how far along ultrasounds have come. When we were having our kids (in 1983 and 1984), the ultrasounds were hard to read even for the technicians. NOW, you can see our beautiful granddaughter's face!!!



Amy's "condition" is progressing. She believes she will deliver Kate before the due date of May 14th. HOW EXCITING!!!!!

My ankle was doing pretty good, but then I twisted it again yesterday. I just didn't realize how weak it still is; all I was doing was walking back into the house after I "ran" (actually DROVE our golf cart) over to the food shed here on the Ranch to pick up a few items we needed. It is pretty sore and the stairs don't help a whole lot. So, I am trying to keep off of it and elevate it as much as is possible with taking care of a household full of boys.

It is GORGEOUS outside! I enjoy opening the doors first thing in the morning and smelling the cool, sweet air. I love seeing the birds that come to eat the seed that we put out for them (and maybe a squirrel or two). I love watching the flowers and ferns, fruit and veggies that I have planted grow. We have baby birds up under the eave of our shed and you can hear them chirping for their breakfast. We have a whole gaggle (?) of Canadian geese who honk and fly and waddle all over the Ranch, but especially near us because we live so close to the lake (to me it is a lake - to others it is a good-sized pond!). Our lawn is beautiful green and I enjoy getting out in the early evening and watering everything (although it isn't nearly as necessary as it was in Phoenix!), but it is therapy for me.
