Success!

Is this not a picture of success?

Rex and Matt are doing exceptionally well following the kidney transplant six weeks ago. In case you missed our last post, we received word Matt was a kidney match for his dad and surgery was scheduled. We left Arizona and returned to College Station to help out during the recovery.

While the guys were recovering from surgery, Captain’s mom spent a weekend in the hospital with pneumonia. She too is recovering nicely; so much so we took her to see the Azalea Trail and Pyron Garden in Tyler. 

We slipped away one weekend and wandered over  to Menard, TX with Captain’s classmates, Nancy and Jere to visit with another classmate, Deb and to listen to the Double Eagle String Band. Playing the fiddle and harmonica was another classmate, Tim. 

Yep, it was a tiny class reunion with lots of memories and stories. 

With everyone on the mend, we are headed home. But not before stopping in Jacksonville to deliver a graduation gift to a special high school graduate.

Thomas is part of our extended family and will be attending Texas A&M in the fall. Not only will he be an Aggie but will also be in the Corps of Cadets and play in the nationally famous Fightin Texas Aggie Band. Whoop!

As the weather gets warmer, the grass gets green and The Wanderer gets loaded with plants, ABN is  anxious to be home. Having been away from our home for almost 4 months, we are looking forward to catching up with hometown friends, ABN is anxious to see what lived and died in the garden and greenhouse and we both are eagerly awaiting Quilt Week. This year we are doing something different and exciting. More about that in a few weeks.

Porch friends, look for the Tipsy Tuesday flag next week!
