Ashpole Family Update

Off to MD appts this AM/PM for review of 02/09/2009 CT report. Pop is still having lower back discomfort (go figure--- the CT was of the thorax area.) Have discussed today's appt with Pop and told him to tell the MD's about his discomfort and don't say---"I feel pretty good." Lots of appts next week---Pop will have clab chemo (Mon) a yearly eye exam (Tues) and a colonoscopy (prep Wed/test on Thursday). Bring on Friday!!!!!

Don't know about others but I am eagerly awaiting spring---Bring it on Friday!!!! Seriously, I do have tulips popping out of the ground and hopefully will see hyacinth and crocus soon. Really need more sunshine, clear skies, and the distraction of working in the flower beds and watching things grow.

Found some more Kelli pics: Speaking of watching things grow. This girl had a green thumb---take a look at all of the plants on the greenhouse shelf. Growing season in CO is much different than KS. Things grow later but such beautiful specimens. The covered container in the lower right contained herb seedlings that she actually snipped and used in food preparation. The greenhouse this January was full of cacti---more varieties than you could imagine and the pots were amazing.
Bruce and Kelli had a great time planning this green house addition. It is more like a solarium than a green house.

Please continue to keep our family in your thoughts and prayers.

Love, Mom
