It's a bright sunny morning on our hillside north of Silver City and we're getting ready to trek westward to Scottsdale tomorrow for Sandy's appointment at the Mayo Clinic. It's kind of a trip into the unknown ... don't really know what will happen, what we'll find out, what will need to be done there, how long we'll be there ... all will be made known in due time.
In the meantime, the garbage is out and life goes on. Got the Jeep serviced for the trip (plus a little more rebuilding of the old 2003 Grand Cherokee Laredo with about 230,000 miles on it). Tax stuff is assembled, collated, conjugated, transmitted to accountant. PT exercises for neck and back occupy a boring half-hour twice a day. The Susan Love Breast Book finally arrived, so we can take that with to help translate what the doctors tell us ... and to read if we have trouble going to sleep.
The response to Sandy's blog (One Day at at Time, With Gratitude - sfeutz.blogspot.com) has been very gratify to her (and to me). She illustrates it well with snaps from around our life ... the deer, the forsythia, etc. Yesterday we saw the first open blossoms on a fruit tree in front of the house and leaf buds are opening all around us. Spring is rushing toward us!
We have done a couple of fun things. Saturday evening there was a cowboy concert at the Silco Theater ... that's Alan Chapman from Texas pictured.
Monday noon we sat in on the brown bag lunch program sponsored by the Silver City Museum. Yes, I love Bayou Seco! Jeanie and Ken are such a delight, always with a smile and a twinkle in their eyes and music to set your feet tapping. This program was about a Smithsonian traveling exhibit they worked on that featured New Mexico folk music. They started off with two tunes recorded in the 1920s from someone who lived in the Luna area, on the NM/AZ line west of here ... they sounded like something I would have heard in a country dance hall in northern Wisconsin in my youth. People took their musical talents and traditions and modified them in new surroundings, like the violin they showed that was made in Santa Fe ... by a Swede!
Okay, time to get crackin' on the day; lots to do. We're going to go a sort of back route tomorrow, through Safford, AZ, on the way to Scottsdale. Haven't ever been there before, but it looks more interesting than I-10 traffic! tv

Sandy, I emailed you at wt@fone.net and it went, but the one to sfeutz was returned. Anyway, you and Tom have a good spring,
with smooth sailing on the cancer situation. I love the title for your blog!
