Six Weeks!

Yesterday marked six weeks since Bob's surgery. It seems like forever and it seems like yesterday. So glad we're this far because he's doing quite well, stronger and stronger. He mowed the lawn (riding a mower isn't too taxing), and the cardiologist said he can start regular bicycle riding - one of our favorite things here in Hibbard. Such a relaxing, peaceful setting (except when the winds are hurricane force).

...And I am enjoying not having to get up early and head to school. I've always loved to dawdle; I'm getting really good at it again. It makes me wonder who those people were that lived that busy schedule with eight children; this is definitely different. It would be hard to go back though those were great times. Sometimes I still get melancholy for them, especially their teenage years. But what can beat grandkids?
