BIG NEWS!!! I got to go for a really long ride! Oh, BOY! Oh, BOY!!! And the coolest part?!?! Pixie was at the other end! We went to Grandpa and Grandma's house this weekend. I always like it when we go there. They have a super cool park that I get to walk around (not many trees, but LOTS of great smells) and Pixie's there and I get to be so close to mom that I can just lick her face in the middle of the night to let her know I'm still there!! Life is grand on road trips! I have to tell you, this time was kinda weird. You shoulda seen Grandma! She had the FUNNIEST legs! She made some weird noises with her extra legs, too! And everyone told me to move when she was walking around! I heard something about some surgery or something like that. You'll have to ask mom. Mom spent most of Saturday cooking stuff up so that the Gr's can eat for awhile. Every once in awhile I'd get called over to pick up the carrot or broccoli that fell to the ground! I LOVE it when mom cooks! Anyway, that was our weekend. Oh, and Grandma wouldn't pose, but sister did. These were Grandma's legs.
Grandpa and Dad put together the little wooden thingy so that Grandma could get around better. Man, I'd think with 5 legs life would be great, but apparently the little rolly-thingy's even better!
Yes, mom had surgery on her great toe last week. She's to be off of her foot for one month, followed by 2 months of limited pressure and then another 3 months of getting better. They fused and pinned and plated and rodded and whatnot so that she'll hopefully have no more foot pain. So that dad doesn't have to work so hard after work, we went down and I cooked up quite a bit of food for their freezer in addition to keeping us all fed through the weekend. It was good to have that time there, even without mom and I getting to craft! As you can see, Dad and Kent had the privilege of being the creative ones this time! It's always good to see the great friends that mom and dad have there, too! Such a privilege to get to be in fellowship with them on Sunday morning! On our way there I read the book "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. Maybe you've seen the video of his spoken "Last Lecture"? I highly recommend both the book and the video. Make sure to have the tissues ready, but also maybe a notebook or highlighter. Really a great read and some great lessons that I would like to take to heart! I never had the opportunity to know this man in person, and for that I'm now very sad, but I'm thankful to have "known" him through his works and hope to learn from him through his legacy!

It is wonderful to have a daughter that is willing to come and cook and I guess she must have had lessons from the best because it all tastes so good! Thanks for spending your anniversary cooking for us!
Thanks kids for all you done. I almost could have done it myself, but your help put the frosting on the cake. CAKE some body said CAKE where?
