Ugh!

Yet another beeeyoooutiful day in Central Indiana. I think we skipped spring...although the weekend is supposed to be a little more "seasonal". Of course it will...because the grandchildren will be here!

I got a call from the grandchildren's stepmother (Kendra) this morning. Ryan had an appointment with the orthopedist to check on the progress of his arm. Apparently it is healing well and quickly. Kendra did talk them into putting a cast on it, however, which has simplified things for them all. He is now allowed to at least use his thumb for his Nintendo DS, and getting him dressed is easier. The hard splint and wrappings just wasn't working for convenience. I'm glad she did that. We don't have to be nearly as protective of his arm now. I guess whenever Robin got upset with him, she would try to hurt his arm. With a plaster cast on, all he'd have to do is clunk her on the head with it once and she'd figure things out pretty fast!

I got a sad email from my sister today indicating that Lefty, a neighborhood dog, got hit and killed while trying to cross the road earlier in the week. Then their dog, Cain, was alive, he and Lefty and another pooch named Angel would run together. Lefty always showed up at my sister's once a day for a treat. Cain died of a cerebral accident (stroke) a couple of years ago...and now both Angel and Lefty have gone over the Rainbow Bridge from failed road-crossing. They are all probably in Doggy Heaven, running in the fields together again...

I will be driving up to Muncie tomorrow afternoon to collect the children for the weekend. It will be good to see the little skunks again!
