Spying on the eggs.

The picture on the blog tonight is one Don took a little bit ago when I was spying on the robin nest. I’ve read of folks whose robins hatch on May 15, 16 and 17th, so I’m concerned that our robins are overdue. The mother seems to be convinced it’s worth her time to set on the nest, though, so I guess I should trust her instinct. God tells her how to do this, so I shouldn’t question her.

I walked 2 hours, again, with Don today. I’m amazed and so grateful that I can do that second hour with no problem! God is really being good to me! Remember when I couldn’t take 10 steps without my knee popping out of place and then swelling? God wanted me to work up to this and I was in too big a hurry, I guess. I feel really good, so I think the walking must be good for me. I know it’s supposed to be good for building strength in my bones, so that’s my goal.

We had originally planned to go to a ball tournament in Desoto, Texas this weekend, but when we realized it’s Memorial Day weekend, Don decided he didn’t want to be on the road with extra travelers. We got sunburned last weekend (I think it’s all turning to tan, now.) and that other weekend when we went to McKinney and didn’t get home till 2 in the morning make him a little hesitant to go so soon after last week. Anyway, we decided to stay home, so Trish and Rob decided to come here! We are so excited to have them come. They haven’t been since last fall when Raynie was so little and I was dragging with chemo. It’s Hobart’s Arts on the Square weekend, so we’ll all have a great time doing that together. I hope to get good pictures to share on the blog next week.

We’re going to play cards here tomorrow night. The kids will come and then we’ll be done playing. They aren’t coming until after Rob does some errand after work, so I don’t expect them before 9 and we aim to quit at cards around 9. I’m going to be sure and get a nap tomorrow so I won’t be too tired tomorrow night. Can you tell I’m excited? We’ll introduce Daniel to Hand and Foot Canasta and he will never be the same. He’ll never be the same after a weekend with the Oglesby’s here, either; he’ll be blessed!

He’s such a cool guy. Have I mentioned that he plays the tuba? He practices every day and it’s kind of a trip. It doesn’t sound bad at all; I guess he’s really good. I have no idea how to judge, but it sounds good, so that’s the way I judge. It’s just that we’ve never had this sound around the house.
