Really Random...

Get well, Gong Gong and Pop Pop, we love you! Looking forward to Easter with you.
Totally random thoughts.... Enjoyed "Ain't No Sunshine" on AI tonight, might have to download that! Enjoying my Photoshop obsession, but need to start studying my camera manual, too. Hope to go on a photo shoot one of these days with Shannon. Edamame with sea salt? mmmmm, so good. Six weeks until Kevin's graduation... hook 'em! Thanks, Bob, for taking cap & gown photos this weekend. Danny bought flowers for Danielle with his race winnings! Taking our neighbors to dinner tomorrow before they move :( My wonderful, generous Andrew plans to paint the back of the house while I am at a retreat this weekend....what a guy! Praying tonight that my friend Ruby, in Phoenix, and her family, find the right path for them. Good night.

Weekend with Friends & Family

Pop Pop should be released from the hospital today - great news! Looking forward to a weekend with Mike & Margo, Kevin & Rachel, Danny, Kaleen & Brent.

Update on Pop Pop

Call me for an update on Pop Pop. Test results were good, and he will be treated with medicine, and probably not surgery. He will hopefully be released from the hospital today. Good news!

Emily Elbert's new CD

Go check out a wonderful talent from Coppell, Emily Elbert, who is releasing her second CD this summer. She's at Berklee School of Music in Boston, and is an amazing talent with a huge heart: http://www.emilyelbert.com/New_Album.html

Update on Pop Pop

A belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Aunt Lynn! Pop Pop's exploratory procedure was inconclusive today, so he will have a special type of 'scope' done tomorrow or Wednesday. He is resting more comfortably now, and says that all the doctors and nurses are treating him well. He asked GG to bring the laptop to the hospital so he can play "Hearts", so he must be feeling better! Andrew was chosen as "juror #3" today, for what he hopes is a short trial in downtown Dallas. Rachel participated as a paralegal in her first jury trial today, in Georgetown, sitting at the lawyers' table. She and Kevin have both contracted "March Madness", BOTH selecting 13 correct out of the 16 "sweet sixteen" college basketball teams (not all the same guesses, though). Shannon shared some beautiful photos that she took at the Arboretum (see below). I am still staying up until midnight every night, doing homework for the advanced Photoshop class I'm taking online, which I am loving! Danny's race this week is in Morgan, the town in which we have family reunions every October. Sorry this has been random and rambling... I'm so sleepy... (it's 11:35pm, even thought this post says it's only 9:21 -still have lots to learn about this blog thing) Good-night.

Get well, Pop Pop

Pop Pop is having an exploratory procedure done tomorrow to determine why he has a stomach blockage, so we will all say a prayer for a speedy recovery! In typical Pop Pop style, he has negotiated with the doctors to be bumped up to first in line for the morning! :) Papa C is also on a special heart monitor and new medication, so our thoughts are with him, as well.

Spring Break Trip

Thanks, Gong Gong and Pop Pop, for a wonderful 3-day trip to Houston! I'll post more as soon as I can get caught up, but my goal is to add 2 photos a day from the trip.
