• Jo went to Las Vegas the weekend before last for a conference and really enjoyed it, but I think she was actually glad to get back to KY weather.
• Fred and Mitch worked on Mom's fence this past weekend. I went over and decorated a cake for her, which tickled her. You really never know what's going to make your mother happy!
• Mom told me that Gus went to a restaurant equipment auction this past week. I guess it's in our blood...
• I'm taking Mary to get an MRI on Saturday. She's had a sore on one of her toes for about four months (due to my soaking it in water, unfortunately, which I should have known better than to do). They want to see if there's an infection in the bone, which means the sore really doesn't have any chance of healing. If there is, then they will recommend removing her toe, which is apparently a pretty common procedure. She says she will NOT have her toe removed. She might have no choice if the infection spreads and they have to remove part of her leg. Then I won't be able to take care of her.
• I never mentioned that Janelle's birthday part went really well--except that she wasn't surprised. Apparently, they never can surprise her. She's just too darn clever, darn it!
• Amy said that Kaela did well at the horse show on Sunday.
• Dad is bummed that his computer has finally been fixed and so he can't complain that he needs a new one anymore.
• Mom's hips are hurting her a lot. I think it has something to do with the shoes she wears (ie, not the good ones that I talked her into buying because they're white and she might get them dirty).
• Fred put a lovely add on http://louisville.kijiji.com/. Check it out! Just search for "Fred Klein." (This site looks like a maybe nicer version of Craigslist.)
