This and That

It's been fairly quiet lately, just normal life, or at least what passes for normal around here! The weather finally decided to get hot. Days around 100 F and no rain, but that has changed this week with cooler weather and showers. I won't complain!

Our daughter had knee replacement surgery this morning and is doing really well. She is already home and moving around with a walker for a few minutes at a time. It's amazing what they can do now. She is young to need it-just 46-but her joint was in really bad shape from arthritis and she was in so much pain. I'm so happy she will have relief from that after she heals! She got the bad knee genes from her dad. I'm almost 70 and really have no trouble with my knees other than stiffness from getting older! My hands and neck are another story, though.

We're keeping our two youngest grands this week. They are our "bonus grandbabies" at 4 and 6 years old. They surprised everyone and it's so sweet to have littles around again for a while. The other 5 grands are teenagers except for the 11 year old.

That's all for now. Enjoy your week!
