Happy Birthday Nettie!

Today is my aunts birthday. She is our guardian angel, our beloved and favorite aunt, a saint and hero. She is our second mom...and today is her birthday. I did not get her called and I failed in any efforts to send one of my favorite simple things that a person can delight in .... a beautiful and inspiring card.

Happy Birthday Nettie! I love you!

My life is so consumed by data and tech and everything school. It's also consumed with baby Jayden. There is a truth that babies are a miracle of God's work. The myth is that they will fix relationships.

Today was a special day. Terry stopped by to see me. He decided to change his plan of stopping in Denver at a clinic and instead choose Goodland for his stop. He had a nice story of how friendly it was. You see he went straight to the doctor here and had, what looked like a sewing needle broken in half, removed from the ball of his foot.

He had been carrying it around in there he said for almost three weeks. He was hopeful his foot would heal in time to take in some hiking in the Grand Canyon and beyond with Wayne who is flying in to Las Vegas, Wednesday night for a trek down the canyon.

What a great time that would be!!

I loved having Terry stop by, like all family travelers. [smile] Hailey, Jayden, Terry and I went out for buffet at Pizza Hut. It was a good lunch and needed time away from the office.

Well, I'm back down here at he office sitting here writing this post, my shoulders aching from the load of data-loading (up and down) due to state reporting time.

It's late and I was on another mission but was distracted by thoughts of family!

Take care and safe travels all.
