Pre-op day




'Twas a windy day yesterday, with rain most of the way back from Tucson to Mesa. But, we got to see cousin Karen English and had a good visit to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum and we got back in time to dine at the nearbly Olive Garden before the lines started forming.

Today we get down to business. We have the morning off, so to speak, then an afternoon of tests and pre-op exams for Sandy at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. Tomorrow is the big day, so no food after midnight. Fortunately, she reports to the Mayo Hospital in north Phoenix at 5:30 a.m. tomorrow, so she won't go hungry for long. That means we're getting up at about 4 a.m., though! (Don't forget Sandy's blog, "One Day at a Time, With Gratitude," at sfeutz.blogspot.com.)

There were lots of photo opportunities at ASDM; it's beautifully laid out. Just a few were the business end of a barn owl, a sepia maze of cholla needles and a rather grumpy-looking male Anna's hummingbird, displaying his iridescent fringe. tv

Wow, great photographs from a fascinating Desert Museum. Thinking of both of you. You've found yourself one grand lady, cuz Tom.

Amen, Ann; as you and your sisters said in unison when you first met her at Laurel's and Sandy told me to be quiet about not needing to have pie, "She's a keeper!"
