How true it is!!
It was 14 years ago today since Sue had the major back surgery and we are up and around dancing and playing golf… Indeed a miracle! Just a quick reminder of the event gone by!
- November 3, 2003 – Entered hospital for 7 hour surgery called Anterior fusion.

It is now winter! The temperature is in the 70’s and no more heat wave. Time to go to H&H Nursery and select some things to grow! We went to the nursery and got several winter veggies to plant now that the fear of their getting burnt-up has passed!.
In a few weeks we will be devouring winter veggies!
Paul moved ten 80 pound bags of soil additive from the car to the backyard using the two-wheeled hand cart! He spread out the compost/additive and dug it in before going inside to rest.
We got ready and headed to the Garden Grove Elks to listen and dance to Justus! We asked them to join us at the Christmas Play this year… Hope they can come!
Dancing the night away
We had a great time with the Branders, the Roberts, the Kuhn’s and the “Andersen’s”! The music was smooth, the volume level was excellent, a great evening!
We returned home about 10:00 PM, watched some TV and crashed! We saw an episode of “Blue Bloods” and then some “Friends”. Great way to go to bed… Laughing!
