Funny picture and my mom's condition

Normally I just launch into odd subjects with no warning but I thought I would alert you this time. I was browsing through the pictures from nationals and ran across this picture from the same memory card. Here is a picture of Belle, Lucy and puppies. Guess which is the mother of the puppies. (Belle is on the left and Lucy on the right).

Today was busy as always, but it didn't start getting busy until after 10:00 so that was nice. I guess I should also mention that I stopped around 5:00, so today was an easy day. My dad and I are completely loaded up for Twin Lakes and we'll be off by 8 or 9 tomorrow morning. Since the days have been warm lately, we're going to work in the morning, go to the motel for the afternoon, and back to work in the evening. I probably won't have any internet access in the motel, so yall have to suffer from lack of my wonderful blog while I'm away. Don't worry too much, the disease of lack-a-blog only lasts for a week.

I’m feeling a little happy this evening and I can’t quite pin down why. I just finished watching “Maverick”. It’s a bit coarse and has some language, but I really enjoy the plot turns and surprises, and I think the ending put me in a good mood. It must be something else though, because I usually don’t get in an extended good mood unless something else is putting me in a good mood. Maybe I already know what it is? I should ask my mom, she could probably tell me what’s putting me in a good mood.

I haven’t mentioned how my mom has been doing for a while so I think I should inform the world to her condition: “Better than before.” That pretty much summarizes her condition. The scar on her head has healed nicely with only a small, long scar. Some of her head is still numb, and she has cut her hair. Katie says she looks “cute”.

As for her leg, it is getting better every day. My mom spent the entire day today in a wheelchair. Normally her leg gets swollen and she gets tired so she lays in bed in the afternoons, but the time spent in the wheelchair gets longer and longer. The knee is far less sore, and the hole in her knee is healing quite well. Other than the T-shape scar of the stitches, that looks almost normal. Except for the swelling, her leg looks normal now. She still has pain when bending, straightening, or holding the leg still. She's so thankful that God protected her in the crash and that he healed her forehead. There was no way that she could have only come away with a cut going half way around a curved head and not affect anything below. If the Lord can do that, then what is yet to come with the knee?
