This N That

Can't forget that we also have a new 17 year old in the house. He was easy to please, pre-loaded V*sa card so he doesn't have to borrow mine to fill the car with gas.

For supper  waffles (from pancake mix) mashed  potatoes, chuck roast ( baked in Coke and onion soup mix yumm!)

 Hope decorated her's with cooked carrots

Faith simply needed her plate photographed as well.

I must commemorate my beautiful flowers in front of the house. We normally do not have such wonderful success for the whole summer. 

And since blogger is arguing with me, I will have to post this 'way above Joe's picture. 

We visited the wonderful Dr. Kozin today and he agrees that Joseph is old enough to make decisions about his hand. Even though we lost most of the extension we gained from the fixator last summer. He still is at 90 degrees and since Joe is happy with his hand we will let it alone. Sometimes I'm not so sure that is the best decision because sometimes when kids are in their 30's they will look back and re-think things. But the bottom line is that we will need Joe's cooperation in order to gain more movement from that wrist and yes surgery , fixators, and PT/OT are NO FUN!

 I'm relived that we are not looking that specter in the face... unless of course he (Joe) changes his mind...

So now I can concentrate on other things...how about 4 baskets of peaches to can in the morning! Bring it ON!
