It's Friday, right? So tip an extra one (or 2 ;) tonight for my husband. His surgery is complete and Doc says it went well. We won't know 100% til pathology report but the prostate did not show any visual signs of the cancer breaching its walls and same with the lymph nodes. Thank God! Everyday is a blessing!!

Thanks AC for chilling rocks and Jerry and Theresa for new glass..Mmmm

Christmas shopping, laundry and this. My days off were well spent. :)

I couldn't get a good shot of, but look at the little critter who wandered into our yard this afternoon...a possum. He came in and out of the woods a few times and chomped on some fallen bird seed. When the school bus drive by, off he went back into the woods.

Mac looking good today

Sooooooo Funny...looks like a lot of reading, but really worth it. I used to work with someone who would especially appreciate this. Let's see if that person knows who they are. ;)

What's wrong with this picture?

What's wrong with this picture? It is the middle of November in central MN and I had to mow the lawn. Global warming ?  Not complaining as I would prefer to mow than blow snow 

Mmmmmm...love dumpling soup. Thanks Theresa and Jerry

Couldn't be happier with my Menards purchase today. Just look at this handy, dandy shoe organizer. Except for boots, every pair of shoes I own fits on this rack. (Kevin, note one empty shelf to fill yet. :) It's so cool to have my shoes all in one spot. I think I'm just going to sit in my closet all night with a bottle of wine and stare at them. :).

Damn. Looks like my Lady Di standing behind Obama's shoulder :)

Irish pubs

I am genetically programmed to find comfort in Irish Pubs

I have a touch of OCD (obsessive-compulsive-disorder) I'll admit, but here I've met my match. This is hotel vanity after the maid finished. I can so appreciate this! :) Kevin (can you tell which pic is his side?) got a little discombobulated with all this orderliness. :)

The Criminal Justice Bldg in downtown Houston where Kevin will be testifying today.

The complete Chris and Andrea family

Yes. That is red hair you see in the sea of blonde.

Three lovely MN blondes--My daughter-in-law (Andrea), and two grand-daughters (Maddie and Lola).

Picture taken by my awesome daughter and another lovely MN blonde....Beth....of Manic Mother Photography. My son, Chris, has a lovely family. His male family companion (Jack) is not in the picture.

Not a great pic, but take a look way to left. Oil cars as far as the eye can see. Heading to the oil fields in west North Dakota. Had to be at least 70? We are just leaving Fargo ND after a weekend visit with Betty, Kevins mom

Betty does NASCAR at Hornbachers grocery store with Lady Di

Mac the music man

It is official. Thanks to the new GS volunteer coordinator, Mac is now officially "Mac the Music Man." She got him a hat and two shirts and he wanders the halls in his mobile chair with his boom box spreading music.

Bless this man and the staff. He really has found a new "purpose" for his life near the end. He loves it and is happy and content. He has come a long way!!!!

Kevin the pit bull - it's a good thing. 👍

Bless my husbands most excellent thought processes. The latest attempt to refute the downward unemployment trend by the buffoon - Jack Welsh - pushed him and his scientific mind just a little to far. Click on the link below to see Kevins blog post he's made in response. Yep, it's REAL science not just petulant, baseless, whining.

No matter how you lean, you can't deny science and I don't get why we can't all just be thankful for this good news.

Read on...he's very good at taking complex ideas and making them understandable. I'm proud of him for taking the time to make the effort to right a wrong.
