Leaping Lizards!

A Leaping Lizard



Well folks, it is a leap year and February 29th is drawing near. Do you leap with joy or leap to your hearts content. Maybe you just leap in fear or just leap on out of here. But what ever type of leaping you do, please do it with love and grace.

Brian's sis, Melanie, left Friday and we sure enjoyed her company. It was nice to have someone to chat, confide and laugh with when Brian was sleeping. I thank her so much for staying with Brian while I saw my orthopedic doctor on Wed. and ran some errands. The doctor injected my knee again with steroids and this time it has helped more, probably because the meniscus tear has been fixed.

Friday was a busy day. After Mel left, Bree stopped in for a short visit and burned the sweet grass. I really enjoy our talks and I feel much better after. It was also a day for surprises. When our doorbell rang and I opened the door there stood Dr. Isom, Brian's family doctor. He came out on his afternoon off to visit and check in on Brian. It sure increased my respect for the type of doctor he is. Friday also brought the hospice nurse Ronna and it is always comforting to have support on hand. Paqui, Marc and Zeyda arrived for supper and stayed over night.Thank you Marc for doing my honey do list and Paqui for helping with chores around the house.

Saturday afternoon brought Brian's cousin Bill Monahan and his wife Linda from Greeley, CO. They brought Brian's Aunt Doris (father's sister) from Sterling, CO to visit. We all had a great time and appreciate the effort they put forth in traveling so far. Brian was able to visit some and was up when they came.

Tonight, I will curl up and watch who is who in the movie world and watch the Oscars. Tomorrow will start a new cycle and a week starts over. Let us live it to the fullest and earn our Oscars!
