Busy Week!

Immediately after our return home from Tanque Verde Ranch on Sunday, Mary arrived just in time for lunch.  We enjoyed a few more hours of gleeful laughter, with the kids playing in our yard, and a picnic on the back patio.  Claire left with Emerson and Colby by mid afternoon.  Mary helped me put together a salad to take to our Supper Club dinner.  We walked to Supper Club while Audrey and Mary went out for dinner at La Encantada.

Mary left early Monday morning.  Audrey and her girls spent Monday morning with us, and we dropped them at the airport by 11:30.  Papa began surgery prep on Monday afternoon.  He had cataract and glaucoma surgery on Tuesday at noon.  His surgery went as planned and he is slowly recovering.  He had a follow up appointment on Wednesday morning.  I've been running around to pick up various things he needs, along with grocery runs.

Papa has also been preparing for a board meeting on Friday in Phoenix.  We're leaving early Friday morning, to arrive in Phoenix for a 9:30 meeting.  He'll have more meetings in the afternoon.  The real reason for our trip to Phoenix is to see Emerson perform in the play, Frozen, on Saturday afternoon. 

Through this busy week, we have been grateful for the many calls and texts, from friends and family concerned about Papa.  “Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.”  Thank you!
