This post will be short and sweet...we are having major computer modem issues and the new modem will be arriving on Tuesday...until then, it is hit or miss on getting an internet connection. While I have internet right now, I'm going to post really quickly before it goes down again.
The biggest news I have to share is that I am have my right knee replaced on June 27th! I a so excited about this...really I am. The pain and uncertainty of the knee holding me up has been going on for many years and I finally decided not to put up with the pain or that fact that I've been taking narcotic pain relievers for several months now...time to do something about it. My surgeon is wonderful and he didn't even hesitate when I told him I thought it was time to replace it. He never even recommended therapy or shots or anything...went straight to a new knee. Our military insurance approved it right away and I can't be happier. So mark your calendars for June 27th and pray for the medicos to all have a good night's sleep, be in the best of health themselves, and that there are no tornadoes shutting down the hospital while I'm there. Me? I don't need any prayers - I'll sleep thru the whole thing! A total of 3 days in the hospital and I will be going home.
We've had quite a bit of clouds and rain this past week...really good for the grass we grow for the cows but not so much for mowing or driving on the flooded roads. Our grass is incredibly green (and wet) and John took 2 days last weekend to mow the 3 acres that surround the house. The rest of the 10 acres is grassland for the cows.
Our air conditioner sprung a leak and we are having to get a new one - tomorrow! They say "if it's not one thing, it's another" and this week that saying sure has proved true. Air conditioner, internet modem, knee....I think that's enough, don't you?
On the off chance I'm going to lose internet connection soon, I'm going to leave you till next week. Know that we appreciate you coming to read this little nonsense and love hearing your comments.
Thanks for stopping by.

They say things come in threes, Sally......so there's your three! Can you send a little rain our way? It would be appreciated.
I thought I had your blog listed on my reading list but it wasn't! Got that fixed and am now catching up on your world. Trouble does come in threes. Glad you are able to get your knee replacement. I would not want to be taking pills for pain either.
