Lee's Surgery

First: Thank you to all the veterns who gave so much. We thank you everyday for our freedom.
Lee had his knee replaced on Tue and was home on Friday with a with a walker and new knee. He had been doing just wonderful. He starts therapy on Tue and will have it for 1 month. He is already walking without the walker in the house, but uses it outside to take his walks infront of the house. A couple of pictures below of his before surgery and walking at home yesterday. I must say he wasn't smiling as much when he got out of surgery. I stayed with Sam, Shannon and the boys for four days and they took awsome care of Nana!! Sam,Shannon and the boys took the camper on its first trip to the lake to go fishing for the weekend. Clint and Tanya are also up at their cabin this weekend. Time is getting close for the new babies arrival. Less than a month now. Well, that's about all for now. Let Freedom Ring!!!!

Family

Last week I was in Portland to see my folks and my brother and sister both came so we had a small family get together. Dad and mom had Dr. appts and my sister Deb was on vacation and was able to come up for a few days. Mom and dad are doing well. We purchased tomatoes for dad to plant in the garden. I was surprised to see all the flowers I had planted in the planter below the house are still there !!! not bragging mind you.
Lee is suppose to have his knee surgery tomorrow morning, but took a tumble this morning and now has a lump the size of an egg on his elbow. We are waiting to hear
from the Dr. to see if they will still want to do surgery tomorrow. We will keep everyone advised.
I have been having some trouble with the blog lately so don't know if the picture will show up. Take care and I will write more later

How does my garden grow???/ Who knows!

Another sign of spring is the deer, as you can see in the picture below we are getting some spring visitors. Lee has put up the covers on the above ground beds and we are ready to start planting. Here in Prineville we have to get a head start on the garden as seen in the picture below. I hope everything grows!! I planted some bean seeds about 5 days ago and they are already coming up in the house.
Last but not least. Wear Sunscreen!!! The last picture is of the cancer spots on my face after treatment for skin cancer. It is starting to look good now and hopefully in two weeks the red spots and cancer cells will be gone. Wear you hat also.
That's about all for now. Hugs, Sheri href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4nbIY1PfDiv4mjb2ViS-8BLICZ-eV5XEvfKASNj1zq8gymF061PwippLELqG8-Hh_Nzn-WHv4H-CtV5596TEQMRI82ugNDWUR9-wz2oWtgVECBcPk0VWL4wxPVlD7r27LtVr_UPvz7Jko/s1600/IMG_1308.JPG">

Lets add comment to the pictures below

Hi again, I don't know if I will every figure out the blog!!!! I can get the pictures and then no writing or writing and the pictures won't move where they are suppose to go.
It has been a while since I have posted pictures of Clint,Tanya and Dane in Montana.Here are some very cute pictures of Dane and the family fishing. He is such a cutie. Fishing has been pretty good up there. This morning when I spoke with Clint it was snowing and about 2 to 3 inches were on the ground. We also had a little snow this morning but the sun is out now.
Lee has been working on the new leantwo (sp) for the truck. It is all done now and looks real good! I have been weed wacking the lower acre and getting the garden ready to plant. I am beginning to think that these things should be left to younger people. It is suppose to be in the upper 60's by the weekend and we can hardly wait.
Enjoy May Day on Saturday and Cinco De Mayo next week. Take care.

Can you believe 61 yrs old!!!

I don't know where the time goes. It is hard to believe that I am 61 years old. I celebrated with mom and dad when I was in Portland just before my birthday. They are doing well and I hope Ican look as good as they do when I get to my middle 80's.

Sam, Shannon and the boys came over on the Big day and brought Pizza and Brownies. Porter was only to happy to help Nana blow out the candles. It was a nice day and the boys got to take rides on Grandpa's tractor. On Thursday Lee and I took the new trailer over to the Deschuttes River. Sam, Shannon and the boys joined us on Friday. The weather was perfect!!! The fishing was good and the catching was GREAT!!! We must have caught about 20 fish with 3 of them being keepers. Porter found out he likes Sturgeon. More fish he kept saying!
The trailer worked good and we just can't get over how much room there is compared to the camper. Well, that's about all for now. It has been snowing all morning again and I guess it is a good day to clean house or take a nap.

Proud fishermen!!

Hi Again

Can you believe here it is the 30th of March and it is snowing today!!! So much for the nice weather we had about 2 weekends ago. Well, you know how sometimes ideas have a way of becoming real?? We had been thinking about purchasing a travel trailer for the winters in AZ and by magic one appeared in our drive way a week ago! We are really excited to take it out on a trial run the middle of April. The trailer is 26ft long with a rear lounge and a sofa and dinette. Plenty of space for 6 people to sleep. Riley is hoping one of the beds will be his!!

Lee and I spent 2 nights camping and fishing with the kids on the Deschutes River the third week of March. The weather was so nice. We had so much fun with the grandkids!! Porter is into throwing rocks,sticks or anything he can into the river.( a boy all the way ) The kids tented and we used the camper, the last trip before we sell it. Next time we will try the trailer! We fished on Saturday and caught at least 10 sturgeon but none were quite long enough to keep. It was still fun catching

Sam and Porter watching Shannon bring in a fish.

Nana and Wyatt. He's not to sure about all this. Fishing is really hard work. The boys decided it was time to take a nap. Riley also thought that was a good idea.

Sam, Shannon, Porter and Wyatt.

Sam and Shannon discussing how to bring that fish in!!!!
Porter and Dane are both two now. I can't believe it. Last week Shannon and Sam had a get together for Porter. His favorite toy was Buz light year. ( I think that is what he is called.) Porter takes him to bed and everywhere.

Cake was had by all. I think that Porter liked the frosting best!!!

Well, that's about all for now. Lee and I are both off in the morning to the dentist office to get our new crowns put on. It seems that with age things just wear out!!! Happy Easter everyone!
