Still in ICU

My sister, Rhonda, is still in ICU at St. Francis. Her blood sugar has leveled off a bit, but she will be having surgery on her toe tomorrow morning. She has an infection in it, and they are going in to clean it out (OUCH!). Though there is a slight chance the infection has reached the bone, x-rays are leading them to believe it hasn't and that they won't have to amputate it. Still praying for you sis! And your kitty cats, Allie and Rascal are missing you! They want you to come home soon!

When it rains it pours in our family. We got word late yesterday afternoon that Corby's uncle Chuck died of a massive heart attack in Oklahoma. Corby is not sure how old he was - late 50's we think. R.I.P. Chuck.

We are hoping to make it down to Oklahoma in a few weeks to visit with Corby's brother and sister and their families. There are a lot of family birthdays in March! Besides we haven't seen them since Charles passed away in November.

Today's quote is from Benjamin Disraeli: "Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth."

Oh man, that quote really fits me right now. Maybe I'll share that with you later. ;o(

Fun times with Lenore

While Lenore and Daniel were here, she had a library book panel at the Johnson County Library in Overland Park. So, on Tuesday afternoon, November 27th, Lenore, her friend Rachelle and I took off for KC. We had a great time visiting on the way up and back, and I didn't get tired at all driving! We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Arby's and filled up with gas at QT before heading to the library. It was an interesting panel featuring Bethany Hagen, author of Landry Park, which comes out next year; Gennifer Albin, author of Crewel, which was released a few months ago; and Lenore, whose book will be released on January 15. Here's the panel: Me & Lenore: Lenore & Rachelle: Gennifer, Bethany and Lenore

K-STATE WINS!

K-STATE beat KU! AWESOME! It was a tense game. Corby is a huge KU fan, and even having a son at K-State hasn't changed that. I am happy when any Kansas team does well; but I had to root for K-State tonight. If the Jayhawks had to lose, I'm glad it was to K-State. Michael Beasley is a great player, and my only concern is that he will leave after his freshman year and go pro. WAY TO GO CATS!
